(yet another) CSS question

Hi,
I have a div with one line of text in it, and I was wondering if you can set the width of that div to be the length of that text.
Is this possible? I have tried
but that didn't work.
Thanks,
-Stephen

Does this work...
Code: Select all
<style type="text/css">
.shrink {
background: #dfd;
float: left;
}
</style>
Code: Select all
<div class="shrink">One line of text</div>
or perhaps...
Code: Select all
<div><span class="shrink">One line of spanned text</span></div>

http://en.selfhtml.org is
slooooowly coming into existence - they actually translated the
chapter on CSS, which you might want to check out.
(The original SelfHTML manual is in German, and respected as
the #1 reference by anyone who has seen it. I have no idea why the anglos take so long to translate it - the French and Spanish translations are much better.)
