On 11/24/06, Jazzcreation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote I'd like to position a div of a certain height (say 30px) so that it starts 20px from the left hand edge, and runs up to the right edge of the screen.
I normally try to figure out a way of doing this in css, then give up and use a table, which provides a pretty straightforward solution. Can anyone tell me what the css solution is? i hope u meant that: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style> body{ margin:0 } Div{ height:30px; border:1px solid; margin-left:20px } </style> </head> <body> <div>me starts 20px from the left</div> </body> </html> a div is a block level element. and this specific element expand its width automatic to 100% of the flow width. as u see, i margin left 20px the element, and i didn't have to give him width, he took the place by himself.
