title: div with unspecified width (absolute positioning)
body: <p>I've got an absolutely positioned div I'm working with, and I put some text inside of it just to be able to find it on the page, namely:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div style="position:absolute; top:10px; left:500px; font-size:30px; "&gt;Example Text &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text ends up wrapping, i.e. "Example" and "Text" are on a different line.  There are no scroll bars showing in my Firefox browser, in fact it's width is about 1000px.    Does one have to set a width on divs?  Don't they expand to hold their content?</p>
  
  <p>In case it helps, I included the Firebug CSS output for this element here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>element.style {
        font-size: 30px;
        left: 500px;
        position: absolute;
        top: 10px;
  }
  html * {
      margin: 0;
  }              //  main.css (line 1)
  
  Inherited from body:
  
  body {
      color: #333333;
      font: 11px verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
