Stretching wider then the view port?

[Ian Skinner]

Is there a way to get a div to stretch wider then the view port to match the arbitrary width of a large table that is wider then the screen without making the div part of the table, or somehow defining the width of the table instead of letting it auto fit the data?  That works in IE6?  

I tried width 100%, but apparently that is 100% of the view port not 100% of the body for IE6 at least.

(It's a large report, the users want it this way, what can I say?)

Ian,

This is an odd is.  I find that it seems to work in IE6 for me but not in Firefox/Opera.  Can I ask why you are using the div in the first place?  Maybe there is a different solution to what you are wanting to do then by creating a div container.
