Replying to jwagner@…:

.css({'left':'+=50%'})

The problem is that style function that is called by css function doesn't care about percentage. A fix could be by adding support for this by checking if there is the % symbol at the end of value. If so it should compute the percentage of the parent width. I fixed the bug with something

        if ( type === "string" && (ret = rrelNum.exec( value )) ) {
            // Fixes bug #14484
            if(!/[%$]/i.exec(value) ) {
                value = (( ret[1] + 1 ) *  ret[2]) + parseFloat( jQuery.css( elem, name ) );
            } else {
                value = parseFloat( jQuery.css( elem, name ) ) + (parseFloat(jQuery(elem).parent().css("width")) * (( ret[1] + 1 ) * ret[2]/100));
            }

            // Fixes bug #9237
            type = "number";
        }

Thanks. Franco

This is reproducible for other unit "em"

There are other not so popular units like "cm","in" etc.

Need fix for them too
