Need way to define width and height in CSS

[Pedro Duque Vieira]

Hi Randahl, :-)

I don't mean you can't do things without this. What I meant is that it's
not the best way to do it, as well as it is not in accordance with w3c css.
And what if you wan't to define a width and a padding?

I think I also recall someone: tbee? mention something about defining width
through css, but as I remember there was no reaction. Besides creating a
new jira issue I would also like to know the reasons behind this and try to
alert the javafx community for this. It's not that big a deal, but I think
it's still a detail that would deserve some attention. IMHO JavaFX CSS as a
bunch of small details like this, that together make up a considerable
problem.

Thanks, best regards,
