  sorry - i'm not explaining it that well i guess

  i want to create divs that span 100%, even upon scrolling past the viewport... like when a table is set to 100% width -

  i have tried setting
  html > body width: 100%,
  body width: 100%,
  and the div needing to span to 100%, but that doesn't seem to work.

  what keeps to happening is this:

  if the window is maximized beyond the size of the widest div
  then yes, the div appears to spread 100%, and technically it does - but if i resize the window viewport to a smaller size, the 100% div creeps inward incrementally, not stretching the full width of the viewport -

  does that make any sense?

  thanks for the help
