Issue
I have all my content wrapped in a container element with a fixed width.
But I have a <div> that I want to “break out” of that container to span the full width of the page.

As you can see in that example, I’ve got the <div> to break out, but since it’s positioned absolutely, it doesn’t affect the flow of the page…which is what I’d like it to do.
I want it to act like it’s in the flow of the page, but expand the full width of the window.
Solution
Maybe http://jsfiddle.net/sYv9g/1/?
.wrapper {
width:300px;
margin:0 auto;
background:yellow;
}
.break {
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;
background:rgba(255,0,0, 0.5);
margin-left:-100%;
margin-right:-100%;
}<div class="wrapper">
