It is not a good idea, in my experience, to use floats in that way,
but if it works - consistently - then i guess there is no real reason
not to, it just doesn't feel right...
I would avoid going down the road of using inline-block, IE will not
completely support it until IE8 is released, and
try:
span style=width:80px; background-color:#00FF00; display:block;A/
span
Does that work?

Span is an inline element and cannot have a width applied to it, unless you
display it as a block, which would sort of defeat the purpose of having it
inline.

Ah right, ok...
Cheers for the replies...
I'm guessing applying display:block is the same as just making it a
DIV?

Yes that works...
What I'm trying to do is display a SPAN atg at the end of an Input
text field of a fixed size. If I set the display to block, it is
forcing itself to be on the next line.
Have you got any idea on how I can do this?
Cheers,

This works:
input type=text style=float:left;/span style=width:80px;
background-color:#00FF00;display:block;float:left;A/span
However...
I feel bad telling you that - this is bad markup - perhaps you could
explain why you are trying to do this, or what the bigger picture here
is?
As stated by
Wrap the input in a div with and set the div's position to relative.
Then, add the span as as a div, set the width, and position it absolutely.
Its absolute position will be relative to the container div, not the page.
div style=position: relative;
input type=text name=name style=width:
That's a LOT of markup.
You could actually use an input field if you just want to set a background
color an some text. It might look like this:
input type=text name=name style=width: 100px; /
input type=text name=name value=some text style=width:
80px;background: #ff; border: 0px;height:
the most simple way to do this, is to simply apply display:block on the
span.
span style=display:block;width:80px;background:#00FF00;A/a
that will fix it all.

Actually that will NOT fix it all. That makes the span into a block level
element which will force it to the next line.

no, in IE it works only on things that are natively inline.
For Firefox 2 you will need to use |display:-moz-inline-stack; but FF3
supports inline-block, opera, safari and konqueror all support it.|

Thanks for your input... Is inline-block IE only?

Thanks... I was just playing with float but I set the input to
float:left and the span to float:right thinking it was something to do
with justification. I kind of got it working but it didn't look right
in Chrome. Perhaps your way works better but I'll sack it off if it's
bad coding... Thanks
