I would like the parent-div (red) to grow with the green child-div. Now it just stops at the viewport.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

<html lang="de" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">
<head>
<title>simple document</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {
font-family: verdana;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="margin: 30px; background: red; padding: 10px;">
<div style="background: green; width: 2000px;">dxyf</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I don't want to use display:table; since it does not work well in IE.
Any ideas?
