In modern browsers I've come up with a workable CSS solution to align my
<dl> the way I want it:
dl.keyItemPairs
{
display: block;
}
dl.keyItemPairs dt
{
clear: left;
display: block;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
width: 100px;
}
dl.keyItemPairs dd
{
clear: right;
display: block;
}
There are still a few inadequacies to work out (e.g. it requires me to
manually set the width of the <dt> (key), but I feel it's a good start.
