Hi,

I have got a typical problem. I have three divs inside a div. The width is specified in rounded off percentages.

Values are
66.6666 --> 67%
16.6666 --> 17%
16.6666 --> 17%

Total comes up to 101%.

So last div does not fit into it. It comes down. I need to make three divs to be in same base line(horizontally).

How do I solve this issue?

Title of the question has nothing to do with content. Further, adjust percentage your way. Whats the issue?

The trick is not to use percentage for the last figure ... set it as follows

lastwidth = 100 - 67 - 17

OR
Make sure you always round down, or truncate, the calculated valuse
