CJ,

If you use {display: inline} to shrink the headline to its minimum width, you wouldn't need to use {clear: both;} -- unless some other element on the page began a float you needed to clear. Making an element inline does not initiate a float that needs to be cleared.

I was mentioning floating as an alternative method of shrinking blocks not because I thought it was preferable to inline display but because I wanted the original poster to have more resources at his disposal in trying to solve his problem. There are cases in which both solutions are inappropriate: unnecessary floats can overcomplicate layouts and inline elements aren't allowed to contain block elements, thus eliminating either or both of them as options in a particular situation.

Regards,
Paul
