This is an interesting thing to try. I think the key is to create an inner wrapper div to contain the individual blocks, and from there, I got thrown for a loop trying to decide on whether to go with a width of auto to allow it to expand according to the cumulative widths of the item blocks OR give it a width that would expand to the overall containing block and attempt to pad the inside left and right. If I wasn't at work right now, I'd explore it further. Good question!! ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/
