I have seen many developers writing HTML or CSS inline style widths of 99.9% in places where I would use 100%. Is there any valid reason for using 99.9%? Does it have any effective difference from 100%?
EDIT to retweet MSalters' very good question: Considering that 99.9% is one pixel off above 500 pixels, why not 99.99%? I'd guess he's right, that if you're going with the dirty hack you should use 99.99%, does anyone disagree?
