Mike, thanks for the suggestion! I just tried it out, and unfortunately, it has the wrong effect. By forcing the display to be 'inline' it actually imposes the "no minimum width allowed" behaviour, so that even empty divs, which would have allowed a minimum width, become invisible :-( Michelle suggested a bit of a hack that would likely work, which is to fill the 'empty' field with spaces. I'll investigate this option later today (unless anyone thinks it's a bad idea...) -- Anastasia Cheetham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Designer, Fluid Project http://fluidproject.org Adaptive Technology Resource Centre / University of Toronto _______________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list [email protected] http://fluidproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
