Jasper, I believe you can find the formula for a block expanding
horizontally to fill its container on this page:

Hmm I get your point. So when I just don't specify any width. It works out
exactly the same. So I believe this isn't a hack after all.
But my next question now is, will it always be parsed like this? If you
don't insert a width rule at all, will it always stretch the whole width?

When I was redesigning my homepage I found a CSS hack. Because I
couldn't find anything about this hack, it seemed to me that this hack
isn't known yet. So I named it after my homepage: The Curunir Hack.

Jasper, at first glance I thought this was very clever, but then I
realized that it only works when you're specifying {width: 100%;}.
Your hack {width: 100% -;} makes the width rule unparseable, so the
browser renders the div as though no width had been declared -- i.e., as
wide as it can make it, filling its container, automatically subtracting
the margin, padding, border width, etc.
Rather than insert a hyphen to break the width rule, why not simply
eliminate the width rule entirely, and enclose your div in a container of
the desired width?

Paul
