I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. I presume you mean that the DIV is floating. If so, the issue of width calculation does not exist because you are required to set width on floats (and once you have set it, nothing in the element will affect that). If not, the width of the DIV is simply a static block, and as such its width is not affected by its content. Its height _is_ however (although not by floats except insofar as they cause displacement of text within line boxes). ===== ---------------------------------------------------------- From Matthew Brealey (http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet (for law)or http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet/WEBFRAME.HTM (for CSS)) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
