is it possible to make the 'width' from a child DIV larger than the 'width' from the parent DIV... (with css only)
Please see the following example for more details:
http://jsfiddle.net/6UFs4/
<div id="main">
<div id="sidebar">DIV1
<div id="sidebar_2">DIV1 Sub</div>
</div>
<div id="page-wrap">DIV2</div>
</div>
#main
display: block;
width: 100%;
#sidebar
background-color: Aqua;
float: left;
width: 80%;
#sidebar_2
background-color: Lime;
#page-wrap
background-color: Gray;
The size from DIV1 Sub should be 100% from browser window and not limited from parent DIV. I tried using overflow: visible but it´s not working...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You can use position:absolute and width:100%; to meet your requirements but you have to be careful about position of your element(x and y axis with respect to page) inorder to show your image at desired location
See the example:

Yes you can by changing its positioning.
jsFiddle

#sidebar_2
background-color: Lime;
position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;
I don´t know really why but in my code this is not working... Just on JSFiddle I can see that it is working but not in my code... Is there a problem with IE8?

Mar 25 '13 at 10:09
I just tested it in IE8 and it works fine. It may have issues if you have apositionrule on any of its ancestors.
