Hi, I have a question about the correct width of an absolute positioned element. I have the following document: ------ ... <body> <div style="position:absolute; left:0; top:0; width:100%">text</div> </body> ... ------ The width of the div element is defined as 100%. But the width of the div element is different in Mozilla 1.4, Opera 7.11 and IE 6. Mozilla draws the div element from the left window border to the right window border. But in Opera and IE, 100% is only the content edge of the body element. Thus the window width minus the margin, padding and border. If I set the margin and padding of the body to zero, Opera and IE draw the div element from the left window border to the right window border too. But I would like to know, which browser behaviour is defined in the css standard? Thanks Christoph Mueller
