I am trying to get a background color to extend infinitely outward to the left of the page. If I use a negative margin, then it doesn't extend out past the container. I don't know any other way to do this... Any ideas??

Anyone have any ideas?????

Can you provide a URL?

I don't have a url to show... i guess i'm wondering if it's possible to have a negative margin extend outside the container?? Can I use z-index??

It's hard to figure out exactly what you are talking about without seeing any kind of visualization of what you are trying to achieve.

here's an image of what i'm talking about http://tinypic.com/r/xbjw21/5

So you are just trying to move an element outside of the container? Sure, use a negative margin or positioning.
Beyond that advice, not sure anyone can help without seeing some code. -
this is what i have
#container{width:960px; display:block; overflow:auto; margin:0 auto 0 auto}
#infinite-line{background-color:#000000; height:35px; width:99px; margin:0 0 0 -20px; position:relative;} -
Remove overflow:auto from the container
