Question

I’m an iPhone Developer who’s quite new to web development so please forgive me if I’m making some stupid mistakes.

My problem can be demonstrated on this jsfiddle (with no js). I have a table at the top which is at 100% width. This displays fine. The table at the bottom is of the same class, has 100% width, but because I set position absolute for it’s ID (#footerTable), the width is wider than 100%! – Could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong (the CSS/html is in the link – there’s not very much of it).

When you absolute positioned the table, it’s 100% width was being calculated as so:

width of body element + padding of body element
