Is there a way to get IE7 to correctly calculate the width of a box inside an absolutely positioned container?

Question

css

Description of the problem with the tests: brunildo.org/test/iew_shrink_lay.html
I can't think of anything other than using expression:
.child { width: expression(runtimeStyle.width = parentNode.offsetWidth + 'px') }

Answer 1

If you just need to specify the width of the inner element as a percentage of the parent, you can come up with a solution. For example, you can specify 50% width like this:

<div style="padding-right:50%;"><div class="s">i i i</div></div>
