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 fle

[css-d] Expand parent width to contain floated elements

Hi is there a way to expand the width of a parent container so that it fits the contents of the floated elements within it? If I have two floated elements within a parent element, and the width of those two floated elements can change depending on their content, I would like the width of the p

[css-d] Variable background image size

I am trying to have a left column with a different colour that resizes when the font size is resized. I saw this technique a while ago but I can't remember exactly how it works - where basically you have a background image that is larger than what your window will ever be usually, and you use back
