Thanks for that. I was missing the span display:block...plus I had forgotten the simplicity of a floated div that doesn't have a width applied to it.

*) except old buggy browsers, ofcourse

Yep...it's will work in IE5/Mac is it's just span (without display:block) oddly enough, otherwise it doesn't. Good thing I don't really develop for that browser any more. I still need to check all of this on IE5/PC though...later. ;)

The tricky part, since I can't do this with a span (I believe) is that I only want class='sentence' to be just the width of the word itself (just as a span does it)

a bit offtopic note:

From CSS point of view there is no difference between tags.
You can* do same things with <span>, <div>, <b>, <table> or even apply
styles to <title> and <meta> tags.

Magic: span {display: block;} div {display: inline;} and you have presenation of those two swapped!

This doesn't affect HTML, which still has to follow
it's own rules and should carry semantics.
