Another Quick Tip: inline divs in IE
TweetIn Firefox, it is easy to create an inline div (i.e. a div which adjusts its width to fit its contents). You just do this:
div#elemid { display: inline-block; }
However, it doesn’t work in IE. It took me a while to figure out how to get it working, so here’s the solution:
div#elemid { display: inline-block; *display: inline; zoom: 1; }
It works for the latest versions of IE, Firefox and Chrome (and possibly others – I haven’t tested yet).
Hopefully that’ll save someone some time.
