The <span> option is OK, although you probably won't like how it displays when the text wraps onto two lines. An alternative would be to float the paragraph (and then clear the next element) which will 'auto shrink' its width. But, then, the outline will be full-width if the text covers - at least - one line and one letter. I think you're probably after something like: ------------------------- | Lorem ipsum dolor sit | | amet ------------------ |------| (with apologies to those reading in a non-monospace font) As far as I'm aware, that's not possible in CSS. - Bobby ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
