OK, thanks for the hint. I have two div's, sidebar and contents, both with display: table-cell, and it works fine. It's even better than with a real table, because if the text becomes so big that they don't fit side-by-side, the contents is moved below the sidebar, which is much better than a horizontal scrollbar. Now, for a more difficult one. In my sidebar I have an image which I would like to scale to the sidebar width. If the sidebar had a fixed width, I'd set the image to "width: 100%". But with a table-cell sidebar, it expands to the width of the containing block! Let me summarize: I have a block that contains dynamically generated text, and an image. I would like the width of this block to be determined by its textual contents, and the image scaled to fit that width. Any ideas?
