[Laszlo-user] Are percentage-based size specifications evaluated like a constraint?

[P T Withington]

Percents do create constraints, but they won't be evaluated  
'continuously' -- constraints in LZX are pretty primitive, they are  
evaluated just once in response to an external stimulous. So, unless  
your views are continuously changing in size, that isn't the problem.
