Javascript math

[Shorty]

So just playing I'm writing this code. And in it. I have 2 variables that are each a width. A width of a table. and a width of an image. i need the width of the table minus the image width. and then i need the result of that divided by 2. and then multiplied by a percent. how is this done? What i have is this:

var fdivWdth = (tblWdth-divCimgwdth); var sdivWdth = (fdivWdth/2); var scrlWdth = (sdivWdth*92%);

would this work? The red i'm thinking is wrong. thank you. I'm not sure because isn't the percent sign something other than percents? If its not right, how would i do it. Thank you

Multiply by a decimal:

20 * 100% = 20*1
20 * 50% = 20*.5
20 * 25% = 20*.25

ah okay. so the rest is okay too?

It all looks good, however you don't need the parentheses around each statement. var fdivWdth = tblWdth-divCimgwdth; is perfectly valid.

ah alright. thanks.

No problem
