[2] Don't quote numeric length values or keywords and 100% means 100% of
the container and only really works when you set a discrete value on the
container, did you? We don't know because you only posted a snippet and
not a URL
Width: 100% will work when the container is width: auto. It's only
percentage heights that in most cases need a definite height on the
container.
This is because in normal flow the width of a box doesn't depend on the
contents, but the height does. Widths are calculated early and greedily,
heights late and conservatively.
But you hardly ever want width: 100% because it sets the content box
width to 100%. You usually want the margin box width to fill the
container, which it does just nicely on a block if you leave it as
width: auto.
