[WSG] Auto Width

[Sam Walker]

I'm having a small problem on a page. I have a div that is located 
inside another div which has a fixed width and margins: auto. The div 
contains nothing more than a couple of links, and as far as my 
understanding of this goes, the (default) setting of width:auto should 
make the box only large enough to contain it's elements, right? 
However, it is making it as wide as possible within the constraints of 
the parent div. Perhaps you can help me out:

This is the page in question. The box I am having troubles with is the 
long green one containing the "Index, Bac, For" links. It is supposed 
to be only as wide as the links, but is stretching to maximum width. I 
could get around this by specifying a width, but that would mean it 
would break if the text is re-sized.

Please note that I have only tested this on Safari for Mac so far : it 
may very well have problems in other browsers, but hopefully it will be 
okay.

here is a quick link to the relevant css:

Any help is greatly appreciated,
