I can't get the inner div (with Hello World) to fit inside the "box" div in this code example (also at http://www.toad-software.com/test.html).
Despite the body being set to 100%, the inner div will not be contained! This is a test case for a larger project in which a variable-width table exceeds the boundaries of its container. The table would be in the inner div and the container would the "box."
