'Expand <div> Element to Width of screen
I have (2) div elements displayed as inline-block's.
I'm attempting to make the second div container that is wrapped around a <p> element extend to the width of the screen. Not sure how to accomplish this.
Ideally, the red container will stretch to the edge of the screen to the right.
<div style="background-color: grey; width:16px; display: inline-block;">
<p>-</p>
</div>
<div style="background-color: red; display: inline-block;">
<p>Test Text</p>
</div>

If you want to keep your element as display: inline-block, you can make use of calculation-driven variables, and set the second div to occupy 100% of the width of the container minus the width of the first element (and margins):
:root {
--left-width: 16px;
}
div:nth-of-type(1) {
display: inline-block;
background-color: grey;
width: var(--left-width);
}
div:nth-of-type(2) {
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
width: calc(100% - var(--left-width) - 4px);
}
<div>
<p>-</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Test Text</p>
</div>
