title: How can I set width using percentage and get the same width with or without a vertical scrollbar?
body: <p>I have an element which I want to have <code>width: 50%</code>. But when the right scrollbar is there, that 50% looks different than before, and since certain elements appear and disappear (through animation), the scrollbar also appears and dissapears, dynamially changing my element's width.</p>
  
  <p>See the <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Shawn/htWrC/" rel="nofollow">Live Demo</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can set an element's width with a percentage and not have it influenced by the presence or absence of a vertical scrollbar?</p>
