Question

I’m trying to create liquid layout, so that the left side of the site expands based on the screen size, while the right side stays a fixed width. This works fine in IE, but in Chrome the left side is only expanding the length of the content within, not the full length of the space.

#bbContent{width:100%; min-width:829px;}
#leftActivity
{
float:left;
margin-right:334px;
min-width:421px;
margin-top:18px;
padding-left:14px;
padding-right:60px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#rightActivity
{
float:right;
width:320px;
margin:18px 14px 0 -334px;
}

Answer 1

I corrected the solution by adding a wrapper around the left side, and removing the float from #leftActivity. Adding a negative margin on the wrapper, and removing the negative margin from the right side.

#leftWrap{float:left; width:100%; min-width:421px; margin-right:-334px;}
#leftActivity
{
margin-right:334px;
margin-top:18px;
padding-left:14px;
padding-right:60px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#rightActivity
{
float:left;
width:320px;
margin:18px 14px 0 0px;
}
