How To Test Parent Content Width Extension
How To Test Parent Content Width Extension? - CSS Tutorials - Understanding Multiple Element Formatting Rules
✍: FYIcenter.com
One of the horizontal formatting rules says: If the width of the parent element is specified and less than the full width of the child stack. the width of the parent element will be extended match the full width of the child stack. The HTML and CSS document shows you a good example on this rule:
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
H1 {font-size: 20px}
DIV.page {width: 425px; border: 1px solid black}
TABLE#out {background-color: #ffdddd}
TD#box {border: 1px solid black}
DIV#parent {width: 280px;
margin: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
border: 20px solid #ffbbbb;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
background-color: #ddffdd}
P#child {width: 200px;
margin: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
border: 20px solid #bbbbff;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #ffffff}
SPAN#parentWidth {width: 280px}
SPAN#parentContent {width: 200px}
SPAN#childWidth {width: 200px}
SPAN#child {width: 120px}
SPAN#w20 {width: 20px; background-color: #ffffff}
SPAN#g20 {width: 20px; background-color: #dddddd}
SPAN#ext {width: 40px; background-color: #ff0000}
</style>
</head><body><div class="page">
