Why is the absolute positioned DIV not inheriting the width of its parent? Div has
div {
position: absolute;
top:100px;
}
<html>
<body>
<div>This DIV</div>
</body>
</html>
In static positioning the DIV takes all available space, in absolute the width of the DIV is as long as the length of its contents.

The default width of a div is auto. It is automatically the width of the content inside. It does not inherit the width from the parent. To do this you need to specify inherit on the width of the div
div {
position: absolute;
top:100px;
width: inherit;
}
