No, 100% would be the full screen, it would resize according to resolution. there is no definite formula to work it out. You should also use more than one browser too, and more than one pc if possible to make sure it works on all kinds of machines.
Some program like Dreamweaver or Frontpage (if that's what the thing is) would help too, and if you want to learn the code, just display it and see what everything does.
Furthermore a tutorial book would work wonders. I have some and could make pretty much anything anyone wants me to make, but I'm not artistic in the slightest.. ergo no site for me..
If you had a 100 pixel wide picture on a 1000 pixel wide screen, then to keep it the same size you would need to size it at 10%, yes?

My webpage contains no percentages, thats why i need to know about them.
On my webpage, for example, i have a table that is the exact height and width of its background image. then i just centered it inside a bigger table.
What i need to know is this:
Say i have one table at 100%, so it takes up my whole screen. That is where i will put all the stuff of the website in. Then say i add another table centered in the big table, and this table is at 50%. Will this take up 50% or half the space of the big table?
I have 6 tables on my main page, one is for the whole screen, the other two for side menus on the right and left, and the two menus with my logo at the top and bottom, and the llast one is in the middle where the text area is.
So how would i divvy up the percentages for the whole page?

Thats a total waste of time. Spend the time now to save the time later. Code all your HTML to W3 standards. That way almost any web browser will work flawlessly with your website.
It also makes your code easyer to ready and more compatible with changing technology.

Well that was my point, but then I've been told that's the best way to test it. I'm not pretending to be an expert.

You have to slice up the whole website into percentages. I would suggest drawing your whole website out on a piece of paper and estimating the percentages. When your done add all the wdths together and make sure they equal 100. Do the same with the height. Then write the HTML. Once that first "draft" is done look at the site and slowly make changes. If you make one box bigger you have to make another smaller. Your total always has to equal 100.

Why only 50% height? How the hell wouldn't it? If you think about it, it makes perfect sense that it's 50%. Think about it this way:
say you have a table of 4x4:
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
Now, you make the first cell, 50% x 50%, it'll look:
Code:
<tr>
<td height="50%" width="50%"></td>
</tr>
Example:
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
now 2 cells of 50% x 50%:
Code:
<tr>
<td height="50%" width="50%"></td>
<td height="50%" width="50%"></td>
</tr>
Example:
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
If your code looked like this:
<tr>
<td width="50%" height="50%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50%" height="50%"></td>
</tr>
That'll look like:
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
whoa.

^^ I hope he understands that....
When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.
However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

I still have troubles with the percents, and yes i know math good.
Ill have a code like this:
<td valign="top" align="center" width="100%" height="100%">
*That is the table where everything will go inside. But the table is the right width but is completely flat!
Then i make a new table:
<td valign="top" align="center" width="100%" height="50%">
But the table is completly flat!
The height percentages dont work!
plz help

Oh and if you have time learn some CSS or Cascading style sheets to position / style your website. Using valign and align is really limiting.
