honor the "width: 100px"
2) the div honors the "width: 100px", as the background is shown

Read the spec, http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-width
Width specifically does not apply to [non-replaced] inline elements. Span is
an inline element.
If a browser "honors" width for an inline element then that browser is
broken.
2) the div honors the "width: 100px", as the background is shown

Yes. Div is a block element and so width will apply to it.
but it will force a line break both before the div and after
the div.
Yes, that is what block level elements do.

IE 7.0 is honoring span width 100px, so IE 7.0 is broken? (both

using div with display: inline won't work.

IE6 and IE7 in standards mode conform to the specifications. The width is

not surprising.
Your postings contain two examples. One puts the browser into quirks the

You can't. Inline elements have no width attribute. Think about it. Inline
elements are flowed into line boxes. Flowed. What does width mean when the
elements are flowed? Read that section of the specs again.
using div with display: inline won't work.
Correct, because a div with display: inline is an inline element.
What is it you are trying to achieve. It is very possible that you are
solving the wrong problem.

are you sure IE 7.0 will not honor the span's widht? because the
script above, IE 7.0 is honoring the span width for the first line.
now... can it still make sense to have inline element and specify the
width, for example, if i have an inline image of 60 px, and i want to
make it a width of 100px? i think i can use margin-left and right for
20px, but can't i use width -- just think of copying the 60px wide
image and pasting it into a newly-created image of 100px width.
the problem i am trying to solve is... without using table, i was
thinking of just arranging several 100px width and height boxes in one
row, and each containing a 75 x 75 image inside...
i suppose i can use float, with div
or span, with margins
or table
just that span with width won't work.

One can never be sure what IE 7.0 will do. The only thing one can say
with certainty is that it _should_ not honour the span's width.

Yes you can set the width of an image because it's a "replaced" inline
element. I believe rf already said this.

20px, but can't i use width
Yes you can use margins (although there may limits on negative margins),
but you cannot use width.

What you want is display: inline-block. But it isn't supported in the
current version of Firefox. It may however work in IE7 if you set widths
explicitly on the inline-blocks, which it sounds like you are planning
to do.

Most people use float as you suggest. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
