Width of a DIV

Mat
Hi there,

If I don't set the width property of a DIV and simply allow it to size
itself according to its content how can I then find the width it is on
screen. When I interrogate the
document.getEle mentById('myDiv ').style.width property it return
nothing and the pixelWidth property returns 0.

Any suggestions would be very helpful. Please also reply by email to
ma*********@hot mail.com

Hi, I still don't quite fully understand how to handle mixing border/margin pixel width with percentage width. In the example below, I want to place side-by-side two DIV boxes inside a box. 1. Each box takes up 50% of the parent. 2. One of the box has a border width of 1px.

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me why the top paragraph block stretches across the screen (as you would expect), while the bottom div doesn't stretch across the entire screen? When I set the width to 100% (which I interpret as saying 'make this width the same width as the parent (which is the entire screen)) the div is made just wide enough...
