All the padding left and right is inherited down, for a combined total of 92px at any width.
This creates a fix, but moves the subnav over 92: #menu ul { list-style-type: none; float: none; display: none; margin: 0; padding: 5px 0 5px 102px; /*added 92 to the previous 10*/ background-image: none; background-color: #fff; border: none; border-bottom: solid 1px #000; } Hth Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Walker Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 1:41 PM To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] width: 100%, < 100% in IE The problem with your proposed solution is that 1) it creates a horizontal scroll bar in the browser and 2) if the window is resized small enough, the original problem resurfaces. Perhaps someone has a better method of accomplishing the same look w/ different (but symantically correct) markup and css?
