I've got a basic layout going in 960.gs. One line of text is absolutely positioned, starting within an inner DIV and exiting only the right side of the page.
Here's a screenshot:
The issue is that as the text appears as a series of unbroken words, if the width of the text box doesn't extend beyond the end of the page, it breaks some distance from the edge.
overflow: hidden; doesn't do the
trick because I need to set the
width wider than the page.
float
won't work because the text can't
escape the width of the inner DIV.
I can't set it outside the inner DIV and just position it there as the same problem will still exist.
The code is basically as simple as:
<wrapper (containing) DIV>
<text
stripe DIV>
<p></p>
</text
stripe DIV>
</ wrapper DIV>
I know I've done something like this before and I can't for the life of me remember what I ended up doing.
Thanks.
