Is it true, that Firefox doesn't support "%" on borders? Opera does ist right.
IE also doesn't support it, but i didn't expect that from firefox. :o

Replacing "%" with "px" does work.

Opera does it wrong. Percentage width is not valid for CSS borders [w3.org]. Width should be either a value (thin, medium, thick) or a length (px, em, ex).

Oh well,
i found that it is also a discussion point for css3 [w3.org]:

"[Border-width doesn't allow percentages in CSS2; should we allow percentages (of the containing block's width) in CSS3?]"

i hope they allow it, why not?
