That's the complete page (minus html/body and doctype tags). What I deleted by accident prior to posting is placing "nowrap" within the inner div -- that changes the behavior between the two browsers. My intent here is to have a div that doens't wrap content based on the width of the div.
I understand the 'em' solution works.. however, I thought the em unit was based on the font size of the container. I don't know how feasible that solution is for a div. Basically I'm trying to animate a div to 'close' and 'open' and not have the content wrap is what I'm after.. Any other ideas?
