title: Why won't the Android browser span this paragraph over the full browser width?
body: <h2>The Problem:</h2>

  <h2>The Question</h2>
  <p>The paragraph will fill the complete width of the page in</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Firefox</li>
  <li>Firefox Mobile (tested with 4.0.3 on SGS2)</li>
  <li>Chrome</li>
  <li>Chrome Mobile Beta (tested with 4.0.3 on SGS2)</li>
  <li>Internet Explorer</li>
  <li>Internet Explorer Mobile (testes with Windows Phone Emulator)</li>
  <li>Opera Mobile (tested with 4.0.3 on SGS2)</li>
  <li>Android native browser (tested with 4.0.3 on SGS2 and Android emulator)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>What do I have to do so it does the same in the default Android browser?</p>

  <h2>I tried:</h2>
  <p>Please note that this example is reduced to show the problem which I have on a much larger page. So I would like the solution to be as little disruptive as possible. For example, setting <em>all</em> paragraphs on my site to float seems like a bad idea.</p>
  <h3><code>width</code></h3>
  <p>Increasing the value of the <code>width</code> property on the <code>p</code> CSS class has no effect.<br />
  Relative values: <code>100%</code> and <code>1000%</code> have no effect. Values &lt;100% have an effect (paragraph becomes thinner).<br />
  Absolute values: <code>1000px</code> doesn't expand the width, low values decrease it though.</p>
  <h3><code>float</code></h3>
  <p>When setting <code>float : right;</code> on the paragraph, it will display as desired:<br />

  <h3>CSS Reset</h3>
  <p>When I insert these <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/" rel="noreferrer">CSS Reset</a> styles, the width of the paragraph is unaffected.</p>
  <h3><code>position</code></h3>
  <p>When setting <code>position</code> to <code>absolute</code> on the paragraph, it will display as desired. But I'm unsure if that would be safe to generally have enabled.</p>
