<percentage>¶

The <percentage> CSS type represents a percentage value. It is often used to represent values that are relative to the parent's values.

Warning

Not to be confused with the <scalar> type.

Syntax¶

A <percentage> is a <number> followed by the percent sign % (without spaces). Some rules may clamp the values between 0% and 100%.

Examples¶

CSS¶

#footer {
    /* Integer followed by % */
    color: red 70%;

    /* The number can be negative/decimal, although that may not make sense */
    offset: -30% 12.5%;
}

Python¶

# Integer followed by %
widget.styles.color = "red 70%"

# The number can be negative/decimal, although that may not make sense
widget.styles.offset = ("-30%", "12.5%")
