Getting a div's "scrollWidth" when it has an absolute positioned child-div
<p>I have a problem getting the width of a div's content (of the content, not the div itself).</p>

<p>The usual approach would be Javascript's <code>scrollWidth</code> property, I think.</p>

<p>The problem: within this div, another div is positioned absolute and has a negative <code>right</code> value (-350px). I can't change this (it's a menu, sliding in when you click a button, overlapping other elements. It needs to be positioned like that).</p>

<p>The <code>scrollWidth</code> returns the width of the outer div's content PLUS the negative right-value (in Chrome, didn't test other browsers).</p>

<p>Here's a short example:</p>

<pre><code>/* ... */
</code></pre>

<p>But I need the content's width that is accessible by scrollbars.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>Please use Jquery, no plain Javascript.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
