Hi all, I'm suffering from a cold, which often results in me thinking and doing very ridiculous things. So, I'd like to make sure I'm not missing something very obvious in regards to CSS for a page I'm working on.
I just need to confirm that there is no way to change the containing block that an element refers to for its width, correct? Note that I am *not* referring to a containing block for the sake of positioning (for in that case, it is possible and quite easy to change the containing block). Rather, I'm interested in whether it is possible to give a parent div a min-width, but have its child div not look to the parent div for its width but instead look to the viewport, or body element. I'm pretty sure it is not possible for the child div to "skip" its parent div and use the viewport as its containing block for calculating its width, but like I said, I'm not really thinking straight right now. :-) Thanks for any help you can provide this sick lady.
