I am looking for a technique that will allow me
to generate a DIV, the width of which is the
width of its widest non-shrinkable immediate child
element; the DIV will always be floated.
For example, consider the following :
DIV style=float: ...
IMG src=... alt=...

The image has a natural width, which for
Jukka already presented a solution without the float, but with a css table.
In your setting, you wanted the floating div to have a shrink-to-fit
width (CSS2.1: 10.3.5) that equals to the width of the image, so the
width of the text without breaks must not become the preferred width
of the float.
