Hello, I am new here, so please let me know if I am doing anything out of order. I would like to make a suggestion for soemthing I want to see in HTML5. I call it the inflate tag. <inflate>. The purpose of this tag is to expand that which contains it as if it were full of text. I have seen many websites where the designers were forced to put long strings of hidden text into a cell in order to make it expand correctly. Thus text browsers find strange segments like this: w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w Of course, developers already have the ability to specify the width in terms of pixels, ems, percent, and tons of other stuff. But there are times, particularly in fluid design, when you can't get the div to work the way you want without text to expand it. This could even be an attribute rather than a tag: width="inflate".
