Anyone needing that complexity can get it with nested divs. Nested shim divs is *not* generally an acceptable solution. It's also sometimes not even a *possible* solution, frex if the element is display:table-cell. There's no way to get multiple nested divs to all fill the exact same space in that situation without specifying explicit width/heights. One way around this might be with ::outside and ::inside pseudoelements, which can be stacked arbitrarily deep. Dunno if either of those would quite solve the sizing issue, though. ~TJ
