[css-d] White box clinging to preformatted text borders

Sent by Jeff Shepherd on 20 February 2003 21:09


I would like to take preformatted text and have it within a white 
box.  I can do this pretty easily, however the white extends to the 
right border of the page, rather than clinging to the right of the 
text. Like this:

   +----------------------------------------------------------+
   | Here is                                                  |
   | the text                                                 |
   +----------------------------------------------------------+

This is what I want:

   +----------+
   | Here is  |
   | the text |
   +----------+

I can get the effect I want by enclosing the text within a table.  Is 
there a way to accomplish this using CSS only?

I have HTML samples at http://www.ashep.com/test/index.html
