How to do something...

[thetzfreak]

Hi,

I'm making a box around a link. I'm using this simple css code for the box:

.links {
border: 2px dotted #5b5b5b;
background: #e5e5e5;
}

I will use it like this: <div class="links"><a href="linkhere">Link</a></div>

Now, how do I automatically make the box width the same as the link text?

Thanks a lot.

I'm not a CSS expert, but here are two options that work.

instead of div, try span:

<span class='links'><a href="linkhere">Link</a></span>

or just put it in the 'a' tag:

<a class="links" href="linkhere">Link</a>
