cause the parent to grow quite large

<bernard> sigh. it seemed like such a simple task. i'd forgotten how bad web design is.
<bernard> there's no css width attribute to say "the rest of the page" ?
<Zanchey> bernard: try auto
<msh> bernard: 100% ?
<Zanchey> nah, that's "the whole space available"
<msh> or that'll steal from things next to it?
<Zanchey> just wrap things in lots of divs
<msh> yeah
<bernard> Zanchey: auto is not reading my mind correctly
<bernard> (seems to be the same as 100%)
<msh> and use 99.9% rather than 100% to avoid scrollbars appearing through rounding errors
<bernard> brrr
<msh> bernard: you can care less about these things if you marry someone who does web dev :)
