Is there a way in CSS to set the width of any element to equal the width of its parentNode? I tried ‘inherit’ – sounds logic – but it didn’t work.
Thanks in advance.

This means 100% of the parent element’s width.
Note that it might not work if the element has the display property set to something different to “block”, and in a few other cases.
If you try it on 2 nested divs, it’ll work.
