Well Neredbojias, I sincerely appologise for annoying you.
If anyone is interested (and for the sake of permanance), one workaround is
to include an empty table inside the div, set it's width to 100% and it's
border to 0.
IE really does suck.
Cheers
DS
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
font-family:Verdana;
Font-Size:0.8em;
}
..myDiv
{
border-width:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-color: black;
position:absolute;
left:100px;
right:10px;
top: 50px;
height:500px;
background-color:palegreen;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>I want the div to position accordng to the left and right settings
in the style. It works
fine for Firefox, however, in IE only works when there is more than
"one lines" worth
of text in there. I need it to fill the screen when there is no text.
</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<div class="myDiv">
<p>Sample text inside div</p>
<table cols=1 width=100% border=0>
<tr></tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
