Hi, I need to create an absolutely positioned DIV whose horizontal position (and width) is defined by its distance from left and right:
The problem is that IE does not stretch the div since there's no width defined. Does anybody know a way around? I've spent quite some time with this issue now and I haven't found any solution except of using tables. What misery!Code:#div {
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
right: 50px;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
}
Thanks for any suggestions / ideas.
Hi,
yes you can get around it with a fix I discovered some years ago ;)
I don't believe this is documented anywhere else.Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
#test {
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
right: 50px;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
background:red;
}
/* mac hide \*/
.inner{height:1%}
/* end hide */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test">
<div class="inner">
<p>Test</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Wow, thank you very very much, Paul !
