Attribute Values
Value |
Description |
pixels |
Length in pixels (like "100px", or just "100"). |
percent |
Length in percent of entire table (like "20%"). |
relative_length |
Relative length is a W3C standard that is not implemented
in any of the major browsers. Relative length is a way of splitting all
available pixels (if a table length is 100 pixels, and the first columngroup uses
20 px, and the second uses 50%, available pixels will
be 30px). The available pixels are shared using parts, one part is set
like this: "1*". The available pixels are divided into the set parts.
Example: If 30 pixels are available, you can have one relative length
"1*" and one "2*", this will be interpreted as 10 and 20 pixels (think
of this as 1* = 1 part, and 2* = 2 parts). |
Browser Support

The attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Note: None of the browsers support the relative_length value of this attribute.

curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation.
WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration.
Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported.
Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
