Absolutely positioned div on right causing scrollbar when the left doesn't

Question

I\'m trying to \"flank\" a centered div with some design elements that are absolutely positioned outside the main div\'s width. I\'m getting a scroll bar due to the element

Answer 1

This works in IE6-9, FF3.6, Safari 5, and Chrome 5. Didn't seem to matter what doctype I threw at it(none, xhtml 1 transitional, html5). Hope this helps, that was an interesting problem.
