Simplest solution: float the silver box and give it full width. Floats
will expand to contain all floats that are placed inside them.
I guess 'float' confuses me in a broader sense as well. For example,
my right sidebar on the same page is floated right. If I have
another div (see the div with the 3px green board towards the top of
the page) inside the same containing block as the sidebar which is
not floated, the text plays nice by respecting the margins of the
sidebar. However, if I am foolish enough to put a top and/or bottom
border on this other div, the borders go all the way across the page.
Is there a way to tell this other div to stop at the margins of the
floated div? The only thing I have found that works is setting the
padding on the right side of the div to be greater than the width of
the sidebar, but this seems like a hack to me.
I'd go for floats once more, as float-layouts can give you exactly what
you want. What you have is a two-column with header and footer, which is
one of the simplest layouts to control with floats and negative margins.
