I am trying to make a horizontal button component for my web site, that is in 
essence a dl list with each dd entry containing multiple divs to give a 3D 
effect to the button and immediate surround.

I would like the area surrounding the buttons to be a uniform pastel colour 
with a single black border round everything.

However, although I can probably make each button a fixed width(it would be 
better if not) , the number of buttons will vary from use to use, and of 
consquence I can't use a width value on the surrounding element.

As far as I see, if you don't specify a width divs expand outwards to fit in 
the available space.  Is there any trick I could use to give a shrink wrap 
effect - where a div shrinks to the size of the inner elements + padding?
