100 refers to pixels, whereas 100% means that the element will fill its parent. Understand, however, that the parent is NOT always the page itself. For instance, it could be a div.

width="100" means the width is 100 pixels while "100%" means the width will be equal to the parent of the element that has the attribute width="100%"

100% defines that 100% of the web page is used and 100px means 100 pixes are used
