title: width: 100% with position: absolute
body: <p>If you do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div style="width: auto; background: red; color: white"&gt;test&lt;/div&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You get a div that is stretched to fill the entire screen width (100%). That is what I need to happen.</p>
  
  <p>However, I also need the starting position to be set. So, I need <code>position: absolute</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When I add position:absolute, the width of the <code>div</code> is only as wide as the content within (similar to floats). Is there any way around this? </p>
  
  <p>I cannot simply specify <code>width: 100%</code> since this does not take in to account border sizes, etc.</p>
