CSS div width / DIV with aut expanding width depending on content

[cheska]

Hi : )

On this page here : http://lucid-life.com/lucid_sites/test/test.html , you will see i have a div which scrolls the content. The intention is to actually only have it scroll horizontally, and not vertically.

However, it contains a table, which contains images. I want to eventually find a way for my client to upload images (numbered 1.jpg upwards*), and the table (or just the div) will expand width-wise to contain the content. The images float left, so should always be horizontal, but for now, unless I define the width of the table to be wide enough for all the contained images, the images obviously wrap within the div, and a vertical scrollbar appears.

The problem is, since i won't know the width of al the images it will eventually contain, i can't declare the width. I thought of possibly setting a ridiculously long width, but then the problem will be that the div scrolls a large amount of empty content at the end (after the images), and that's undesirable.

I fear i've probably done an awful job of explaining my problem, but if you are at all inclined to delve a little further, all the css is in the actual page... I'll be grateful of anyone's advice/input.

Thanks,

Cesca

have you tried setting the max-height of the div to your requiredheight and the width to auto?

hey boogle,

thanks for your reply! well, i just tried that now (setting the max-height)... crossed my fingers but no joy.... i don't realy want to setthe width to auto since i want the scroll window to be specifically 750px... although it's possible i'm notunderstanding you correctly.... thanks for your input... any other thoughts?
