Can CSS perform maths: width= 100 - 200 1

[gwar2k1]

Hey just wondering if theres a way to have a stylesheet dynamically work out 100% width minus 200px. Ive tired
{width: 100% - 200px;} and it didnt work. Any one know of a way?

Try {width:expression(100%-200px);}

Hope it works

=) Thanks. It kinda works:

I have a div width 200px float left and another float right using expression(100% - 200px) so in theory this should fill the screen right?
yeah it works... the left div is fine, the right div floats right but isnt 100%... id say maybe 400px wide (1024x768 resolution).

Any ideas? TIA

Could try document.body.offsetWidth or similar (see below) instead of 100% but not sure it would help

I experienced a similar problem but cannot remember the fix. In my case it was only slicing +/-30px off the width of the page which was very anoying.

Remember trying lots of things without success including clientWidth, offsetWidth, margins, borders, scrollbars...
