In my previous post in this thread I explained the way to deal with this sort of situation. It is still probably the best way but, from what you say, would probably require you to redesign your page. After I posted, I remembered that I had tried my hand at writing a version of cmotion that would expand to a percentage width of its container (the page itself or another element). I wasn't all that satisfied with the result but, have looked it over and made several changes and I now like it. It has been tested in IE 6, FF 1.5.0.6, and Opera 9.01. I put it through some paces and have documented it well in the source code but, there is no way I could anticipate all contingencies:
