My question is if anyone knows of a way to get an element to expand
across the entire viewport in IE in RTL without setting the body
padding or margin to 0 (I want to leave those to their default for a
variety of reasons). I can't add a container markup piece either or
turn off overflow on body.

Firefox doesn't give a scrollbar here, but that seems to me to be a
bug since the element is extending 200% width into the content area of
the browser (the left hand side for RTL users).

Setting width to 100% seems to work in Opera, but I'm looking for
something which may work for all. In any case, I can come up with a
fix for FF and Opera, but nothing for IE, so I don't mind a
conditional solution.

Any ideas? I've tried a combination of widths with negative margins
and paddings, but had no luck yet..
