I have looked and looked and not found the answer to this one - just
lots of references to this or that "hack" that is supposed to fix the
problem (and it is a problem to some people).
If I have a div specified and want it to reach across the full width
of the browser window, it doesn't. There is an approximately 10-pixel
margin on either end of the div. I can "fix" this by setting my left
and right margins to -10px, but by doing so, I get the feeling that
I'm doing something that was never intended.
So first, why DON'T div's naturally, as far as I can tell, touch the
edges of the browser window. And second, what is the right/best/
least worst/"correct" way to make them touch the browser window edges.
See the following html:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..bluearea {
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: blue;
}
..redarea {
margin-left: -10px;
margin-right: -10px;
padding: 5px;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: red;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="bluearea ">
Why does this blue band not touch the edges of the browser window?
</div>
<div class="redarea" >
While this red band does?
</div>
</body>
</html>

Ah, but what EST? I'll just bet it means eastern standard USA time, not

That's AEST not EST, according to
http://www.koalanet.com.au/wtzabb.html
Note what country hosts that page.
Then why is not the time in New York listed in USAEST?
Over here we use EST for our time. You should use something else. EST is
*ours* :-)

As it happens, military time is given in the table after the time zone

Sorry Duende, my quoting was a bit off. The table I snipped containing the
missing Australia stuff was the one posted by Toby, not the one at the URL I
quoted.
In any case K is still not adequate. Sydney and Vladivostok have
diametrically opposed views on when daylight saving operates :-)

Hi folks
I built up a small website which is designed for 800x600 display. Runs just
fine in this resolution but if you have a system in 1024 or 1280 pixels
wide, the site just "sticks" in the upper-left corner of the browser window.
So I'm trying to keep it horizontally centered whatever screen resolution
you are set in. I do not want to deal with table cells, just CSS.
I think that I must have a three column DIV layout with the...

If I perform a mousedown within a document, move the mouse outside the

Also, how can I get the relative coordinates of the cursor while it is

I have a liquid site which expands perfectly when the browser window is larger than the actual content. However, when I decrease the browser window size to a point that it's smaller horizontally than the content, my background div's and their images start to decrease horizontally.
I think it has something to do with my #main div as well as my #wrap div's. They are the ones decreasing horizontally and eliminating everything in their path...
