Re: Suggestion on navtowith, please


Hi,

Thanks.

In the comment of novtowidth, it is specifically said that it is in pixel.  

And in <xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties">, replacing 100% with
749 for the value of name="width" seems like interpreted as 749 pixel. 

Further comments on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,


Damar
