Specifically, the error states that the width must be specified as a number followed by a unit, such as "15%" for percentage or "200px" for pixels.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs when:

  The width is specified as a plain number without a unit (e.g., "200" instead of "200px" or "50%").

  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Width Property: Review the code where the width is defined. Ensure that it is specified correctly with a unit.
  
  For example, if you have something like:
  <div style="width: 200;"> <!-- Incorrect -->
  Change it to:
  <div style="width: 200px;"> <!-- Correct -->
  
  Or, if you want to use a percentage:
  <div style="width: 50%;"> <!-- Correct -->
  
  
  
  
  Use Valid Units: Make sure to use valid CSS units for width:
  
  Pixels (px)
  Percentages (%)
  Em units (em)
  Rem units (rem)
  Viewport width (vw)
  Viewport height (vh)
