CSS width 100% OR max-width in pixels

by

That’s in fact the intended use of max-width. If the computed (actual) width of an element exceeds max-width, it will be constrained to the max value instead of going beyond it. Percentage versus pixels isn’t relevant.

Declare both in the same rule like this (no need for the calc() function):

#somediv {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 512px;
}
