-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a recurring problem that keeps hitting me with various projects. There must be a way around it, but I have yet to find one...
I have a container of a fixed size. I want to put in this another widget, and have that widget take up all the available space --- *with its border, padding and margins inside the container*. This seems to be much harder than it looks. The CSS width and height properties affect the size of the content, and the border, padding and margins are always drawn *outside* that box, so just setting the size to "100%", "100%" results in my widget being slightly larger than its container. I can't use absolute positioning for this because I don't know how big anything is in pixels, and CSS doesn't support using things like "100% - 1em" in a dimension. This is an utterly basic thing to want, but I have yet to find a way round it --- what am I missing here? - -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who │ know we don't." --- Bjarne Stroustrup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFKotFcf9E0noFvlzgRAmbiAJ4mN9mqjfNMpfSlW65z3gFHlxVP/gCglOEY sDqSWeGk6lEk4jZoVDQASvM= =Lzdt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
