Making an element span 100% of the page while using a responsive grid system.

I'm using the unsemantic framework.

Will I need to edit the framework to achieve this? Or should I create this 100% div outside of the container div? The div that I want to span 100% of the window is a menu div, so I want it to span 100% of the window, but I want the menu items inside it to conform to the grid system.

What's the best way to go about this? Putting the menu items inside the grid and then using minus padding to get it in?

Thanks a lot.

Use position absolute on fullWidthDiv

<div id="someGridSystem">
    <div id="fullWidth">
        <div id="someGridSystem"></div>
     </div>
</div>

#fullWidth {
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
    left:0;
}

Take a look at THIS for a better example:
