Hello,
In an HTML page, if I align some <div>s with "right: 0px", they all look very nice, as I expect. However, if I make the browser window smaller and the horizontal scroll bar appears, when I scroll the page to the right, I see an unexpected white space (instead of the background colors of my <div>s). It seems that my <div>s are aligned relative to the visible area of the page. See the sample code below:
<html>
<head>
<style>
<!--
#parent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background-color: yellow;
}
#child {
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 300px;
width: 1000px;
height: 400px;
background-color: blue;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent"><div id="child">some text here</div></div>
</body>
</html>
Is there any way to make the "right: 0px" property align the controls relative to the size of the entire page, not only the visible area?
Thanks.
