ie I have a div, below is a hidden div, which is wider than the div above. I want to specify the div inside to have elements with greater widths than the div above. these elements right hand side is aligned to the right hand side of the div above, but since it is wider, want the left hand side to break out. The div below is on a diff layer than the div above as it only appears on clicking on trigger element of div above.

Basically its a drop down list, with some random elements are wider than the image element above which, when clicked drops this list. but i want the list underneath to expand to the left breaking out of the parent div, without specifying exact positions. Therefore, the elements are all children of the parent div and right aligned to it, just like parent.

Hmmm, hope you can follow. Really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

    Negative Margins seems to be the best answer. If anyone knows of cross browser issues, please post here. Perhaps I will but shalln’t be testing for them for a week or two.
