Inline-block is similar to floats in that, yeah. However, for a width of ‘auto’ it shrink-fits the content, just like floats do, which was exactly why I thought floats alone weren’t sufficient. Also, inline-block doesn’t have the positioning freedom that absolute positioning has (but then again, maybe it isn’t possible to have the best of both worlds). ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
