That's correct. The browser needs to know what it's 100% of. If an element in the hierarchy doesn't have a size (either fixed or percentage) then it all becomes rather indeterminate. > The problem is, I cannot do that, as it breaks all kinds of > things in my layout.

But if the sidebar is variable width (say) then you need to be able to determine the width all the way up the hierarchy to where it can be determined with certainty. You don't necessarily have to go all the way to <html> if you can fix the dimensions lower in the hierarchy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
