hello all, Im probably doing something stupid,
How can i get <div class="text"> to auto scale to full space between <div class="image"> and the edge of wrapper1. This is to accomodate different image widths. The hang up is I also need a max paragraph width of 200px. Right now the when i set the paragraph width the div just scales to that width. Basically i want the div class ="text" to scale fit the surrounding horizontal space not the content inside. xHTML like this <div id="wrapper1"> <div class="image"></div> <div class="text"><p> some body copy here</p></div> </div> And CSS like this #wrapper1{ width:760px; margin: 12px 20px 0 0;} div.image{ margin:5px 0 0 1px; float:left; padding:5px; background-color: #EEEEDD; border: 2px solid #D1CBAE; } div.text{ margin:5px 23px 0 0px; padding:9px 5px 5px 9px; float:right; border: 2px solid #D1CBAE; background-color:#EEEEDD;} p{width:200px;} also i tried max width if you need a visual here it is http://www.mcmonagle.biz/newindex5.htm -best kvnmcwebn ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
