I\'m trying to get my horizontal rule to ignore the parent padding.
Here\'s a simple example of what I have:
#par
Your parent is 120px wide - that is 100 width + 20 padding on each side so you need to make your line 120px wide. Here's the code. Next time note that padding adds up to element width.
#parent
{
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: Red;
}
hr
{
width: 120px;
margin:0 -10px;
position:relative;
}
Another solution:
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
just change the top/right/bottom/left to your case.
The problem could come down to which box model you're using. Are you using IE?
When IE is in quirks mode, width
is the outer width of your box, which means the padding will be inside. So the total area left inside the box is 100px - 2 * 10px = 80px
in which case your 100px wide <hr>
will not look right.
If you're in standards mode, width
is the inner width of your box, and padding is added outside. So the total width of the box is 100px + 2 * 10px = 120px
leaving exactly 100px inside the box for your <hr>
.
To solve it, either adjust your CSS values for IE. (Check in Firefox to see if it looks okay there). Or even better, set a document type to kick the browser into strict mode - where also IE follows the standard box model.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

In large this question has been answered but in small parts by everyone. I dealt with this just a minute ago.
I wanted to have a button tray at the bottom of a panel where the panel has 30px all around. The button tray had to be flush bottom and sides.
.panel
{
padding: 30px;
}
.panel > .actions
{
margin: -30px;
margin-top: 30px;
padding: 30px;
width: auto;
}
I did a demo here with more flesh to drive the idea. However the key elements above are offset any parent padding with matching negative margins on the child. Then most critical if you want to run the child full-width then set width to auto. (as mentioned in a comment above by schlingel).
If your after a way for the hr to go straight from the left side of a screen to the right this is the code to use to ensure the view width isn't effected.
hr {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
Here is another way to do it.
<style>
.padded-element{margin: 0px; padding: 10px;}
.padded-element img{margin-left: -10px; width: calc(100% + 10px + 10px);}
</style>
<p class="padded-element">
