Re: CSS 'width' Question

Aaron,
You may need to change the default rendering of SPAN to
"display: block", since the deafult for SPAN is "display:
inline".  If you really want the width to be "100%" I would
suggest using the DIV element instead of the SPAN element.  By
default DIV is "block level" and SPAN in "inline".
