    copied!<p>I don't think there is a way to stretch the divs to be the whole width. The problem is that the text isn't really inside of the div. It is overflowing outside of the div of the line (that contains the shading)</p> <p>One solution is to use a table. Use a table row to hold each row of the source code.</p> <p>Following is a code sample. The first container uses divs, and the second uses a table.</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; .container { width: 300px; overflow: auto; } .lineA { height: 20px; overflow: visible; } .lineB { height: 20px; background-color: #888888; overflow: visible; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;div class="lineA"&gt;Hello World&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="lineB"&gt;Hello World&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="lineA"&gt;Hello World&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="lineB"&gt;Hello World&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="lineA"&gt;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="lineB"&gt;Hello World&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="lineA"&gt;Hello World&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="lineB"&gt;Hello World&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="lineA"&gt;Hello World&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="lineB"&gt;Hello World&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="lineA"&gt;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&amp;nbsp;Really&amp;nbsp;Long&amp;nbsp;Line.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="lineB"&gt;Hello World&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is a screenshot:</p> <p><a href="http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/9418/csstest.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/9418/csstest.png</a></p>
