causing a table cell to stretch the entire screen

Hi

Take a look at this sample code:

Code:

<html>
<body>
 <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
  <tr>
   <td width="100%">title</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td style="position:relative;width:100%; height:100%; z-index:0;">
     <!-- here I place a div at a specific screen coorinates (it spans to the right of the screen.  I am doing it on purpose.-->
     <div style="position:absolute; left:500; top:40;width:1000px;height:20px"></div>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</body>
</html>

The div span to the right of the screen which causes a horizontal scrollbar to apparear (which is excellent). The problem is that the top row of the table doesn't stretch to fit the entire screen. If I scroll horizontally, I can see it cut off where the edge of the screen is.
Is there a way to cause it to stretch all the way, even if a scrollbar exists?

thanks in advance

I do not see any tabular data that requires the use of <table>

I was using a simplified version of my code to deliver the problem.
My actual code requires the table.
