Making a div expand horizontally to fill its container
How do I rewrite the CSS code below so that "topRight" expands to fill the rest of "container" completely to its right edge? This is frustrating me because even if Also in "container", how do I condense the 4 four border codes into one?
Thanks!
John
Thanks!

Set #topRight to 100% width to make it expand to fill a container. If this isn't what you want, post the HTML as well so we can see how your divs are laid out.
