Is it possible to make a div 50px less than 100% in CSS3? [duplicate]
Is it possible to make a div
50px less than 100% in pure CSS? I want the <div>
to be only 50px less than 100%. I don't want any JavaScript.
Solution 1:
Yes you can. Without using the IE's expression()
, you can do that in CSS3 by using calc()
.
div {
width: 100%;
width: -webkit-calc(100% - 50px);
width: -moz-calc(100% - 50px);
width: calc(100% - 50px);
}

This will make your life so much easier. It is currently supported in the 3 main browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome (WebKit), and IE9: http://caniuse.com/calc

Solution 2:
A DIV automatically takes its parent's width. So there is no need to define any width
. Normally would simply write it like this:
div{
margin-right:50px;
}
