Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - Finding the width of a div inside a div.

Hello.

 

I have this code.

 

[code]

<div
style="position:relative;width:800px;height:25px;overflow:hidden;border:
1px solid #000;" onMouseover="copyspeed=pausespeed"
onMouseout="copyspeed=marqueespeed">

            <div id="iemarquee"
style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px"><nobr><font
face="Arial">Thank you for visiting <a
href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive.</a> If you
find this
script useful, please consider linking to us by <a
href="../link.htm">click here.</a> Enjoy your
stay!</font></nobr></div>

</div>

 

[/code]

 

And I want to find the width of the inside div, but it always returns
800 unless the width of the inside div is less than 800px.  Currently
the div is 846px.  Do you guys have any suggestions on how I would find
the inside length of the div.
