I'm too lazy to check, but the \ may be causing you problems. (Why
99.9% and not 100%?)

100% width + 10px padding = wider than 100%.
80% height + 40px padding = taller than 80%.
That may be causing you problems.

That's what min-height is for. :)

I wouldn't be surprised about the width problems (because of your
padding). I've never seen Mozilla ignore percentage heights, at least
I don't recall it, so I'll have to look into that later.
