forcing span to be certain width
Hi
How can I force a span to be a certain width, even if I display text (without spaces or returns) that's wider than the span? I know this can be done, I just don't remember where I saw the details. style="width: 500px;" isn't good enough, at least for Explorer.
Thanks!

The quick answer is IE stinks at applying css.
There are tons of sites out there like this one http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html showing you work arounds for IE anomalies.
It might help you more though if you could show us the code (or link to the page) where you're having problems.
gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

It's a new wrinkle on the 'PhotoShop on a Web Page' page.
Thanks for the link. After more thought, I've decided on a different approach.
