I have tested it (thanks for doing this) and think it can be made a bit 
simpler, more useable. The possible units to measure the width are 
overwhelming. I counted 11 absolute options and 7 where percentages are 
used. Also when I change the unit, the number remains the same. It is 
not recalculated, which means the width can change very much.
