How to make your widget to stretch to full screen
Initially body-element has some predefined margin and padding values. To make your widget to cover full screen you will need to reset those by setting margin:0 and padding:0 in CSS. If you don’t override default values and set body width:100% you will experience some horizontal movement.
body{
width:100%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#f3f3d1;
/*set this to get rid of the small horizontal movement*/
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}The next step is to make a wrapper div that contains all your content. You will have to use absolute positioning and place the div to start from the left upper corner by setting left:0; and top:0; in css:
/*absolute positioning is needed to cover full screen*/
#fsWrapper{
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
