Adam, For absolutely positioned elements left:0;right:0 is essentially the same thing as width:100%...except that IE6 won't recognize it as such, honoring /only/ the right /or/ the left setting. Under normal circumstances, width:100% will give you the effect you want...unless you're using borders, margins, or padding, in which case of course, the width of your box becomes width:100%+borders+margin+padding. In Ellie's case, width:100% would have probably done the trick. Hope it helps.
