Does Rails provide a means for determining the width of the viewing
area? What I''d like to do is to be able to say something like,
''style="width: 100%-140px"''. Thanks.

that''s a server side issue, so it''s not as much as Rails issue as a Javascript issue. And as far as I know, Rails doesn''t have any helpers for that kind of function. Try looking around for the terms javascript and window.width. that should get you started...

You need to look into Prototype (a JavaScript framework), which has functions to handle this kind of thing. I can recommend the "Prototype & Scriptaculous in Action" book from Manning as well as the prototype API on Position: http://prototypejs.org/api/ position A google search should also bring up a couple of things.

Thanks to all. With the help I obtained, I got it working. The point
about the dimensions of the viewing area being a client-side thing is
well taken. Thanks again.
