[css-d] Expand width of block level element to fit contents
Is it possible in CSS to have a block level element that will expand its width to fit its contents? I have a block level element (a form) containing fields, the values of which are drawn from a database. Therefore, the width of these fields will be unknown, so I need the form width to be flexible and to expand if need be. I have read about using inline-block for the display property, which from initial tests seems to do the job. However, is this the best way to go, or would you suggest another way?

[css-d] IE 9 z-index
Hello, I just discovered on my site, that where a z-index of 10 kept my top nav drop downs readable, in IE 9 I had to bump up the z-index number. Any ideas why that would be different in IE9? http://sbctc.edu/college/e_index.aspx Angela French Internet Specialist State Board for Community and Technical Colleges 360-704-4316 afre...@sbctc.edu http://www.checkoutacollege.com/ __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
