Make footer extend to width

stadskle · January 8th, 2006, 06:16 PM

I have a problem in a new 100% width design where I'm in need of some pages beeing wider than the screen.

The problem is that I can't make the footer extend to the same width as the body when this occurs. I understand why it doesn't happen with my current CSS, but I can't find any solution to the problem.

Any ideas?

I have found that page elements that don't require more space than the browser has will fill the browser's width (100%) and no more. Even if you have another element on the page that DOES require more width, the other elements that fit OK won't stretch to match the big one. The only way I've found of keeping it all together is to wrap everything inside a table cell(s) so that the widest part of the page forces the table width. Other elements in the same table should fall in place properly.
