This is usually referred to as "shrinkwrapping". It can be accomplished
in a variety of ways, but not all browsers support all the ways.
1. change it to display: inline
2. change it to display: inline-block (does work in IE but only on
naturally inline elements like span, doesn't work in Gecko)
3. change it to display: table-cell (doesn't work in IE)
4. float it (doesn't work in MacIE unless you also give it display:
inline-block or float its contents as well)
