    <p>I have a child div that needs to be a child of a parent div with a 1190px width and yet the child div needs to stretch the browser window. I am using <code>position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;</code> to achieve this. </p> <p>Now the problem is that the content below my div overlaps under my absolutely positioned div since it's no longer in the box model. I could use margin bottom on the abs. positioned div, but it needs to be dynamic in the sense that the text inside it should be able to increase and decrease without me having to change any margins.</p> <p>I read that a <code>placeholder-div</code> might solve this. I have no idea how to do that. I tried an empty div on top of the absolutely positioned div with 'position: relative' but that did nothing.</p> <p><strong>HTML:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="bonus-box"&gt; &lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;span class="ribbon1"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Bonus Scoring System&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div class="list1"&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Royalities for Back Hands&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;12 points for a Royal Flush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;7 points or Straight Flush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;4 points for Quads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="list2"&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Royalities for Middle Hands&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;24 points for a Royal Flush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;14 points or Straight Flush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;8 points for Quads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;2 points for Full House&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="list3"&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Royalities for Front Hands&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;3 point for a Three of a Kind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- end bonus-box --&gt; &lt;div class="placeholder-div"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Special Conditions&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul class="special-conditions"&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;1.

    1. COCan you show us a graphical mock-up of what you are trying to do? I'm wondering if theres a way to achieve the visual effect you are looking for without using position: absolute;. Absolute positioning is the devil in 90% of cases and 75% of the time it's used it doesn't need to be.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
