I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but before I give up I thought I would ask HOF.
Is there any possible way to use the generated content pseudo classes :before and :after on a series of inline elements at the same time providing a consistent, defined width for these elements regardless of their content? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.

You could try setting min-width: width and max-width to the same thing, but
IE doesn't know what min-width or max-width are (hopefully IE7 will) Sandra Clark ============================== http://www.shayna.com Training in Cascading Style Sheets and Accessibility -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:ian.skinner@...] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 2:02 PM To: CSS Subject: Generated content and width I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but before I give up I thought I would ask HOF.

Ahh inline.
Then the answer is "No". Inline can be given padding, but not width. Sandra Clark ============================== http://www.shayna.com Training in Cascading Style Sheets and Accessibility -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:ian.skinner@...] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 4:03 PM To: CSS Subject: RE: Generated content and width You could try setting min-width: width and max-width to the same thing, but IE doesn't know what min-width or max-width are (hopefully IE7 will) Sandra Clark Well since IE doesn't know what to do with :before and :after pseudo class generated content either, I'm not too worried about it. This is just "what if" type of experimenting. Would min-width and max-width have any different effect then a basic width property on an inline element? I thought inline elements could not be given dimensions? That seems to be my main problem. I need the elements to be inline so the generated content is on the same line, but inline elements can not be given dimension. Is this true, and if so, is there any kind of work around? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.

Not one that would be available on all browsers. Frankly since you can't
guarantee what fonts your users have, stick with the common ones. You have better luck having it display the way you want that way.

Then the answer is "No". Inline can be given padding, but not width. Sandra Clark I thought so. Looks like I'm off to a CF solution to make sure the content is always the same number of characters. Do you have any recommendations on a good monospace font that looks better then the standard courier? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
