Problem having spans tile inside a container in Netscape 4.7x

Asked by immano in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: css, div

Greetings.

I am attempting to have multiple spans fill out a container space (body, or a div, or a TD) accordingly to its size, think of different window sizes or screen resolutions.

For example, think of this style:

.framedbox{display:inline; position:relative; width:300px; border:2px;border-style:solid; border-color:#ee9c00; margin:5px;}

and these tags inside the body:

<span class="framedbox">
<table width=300 cellpadding=2 border=0>
<tr><td bgcolor=#EE9C00 align=center ><font color=#cd0404>insert TITLE here</font></td></tr>
<tr><td align=justify bgcolor=#cd0404><font color=#EE9C00>insert DESCRIPTION here</font><br></td></tr>
</table>
</span>

<span class="framedbox">
<table width=300 cellpadding=2 border=0>
<tr><td bgcolor=#EE9C00 align=center ><font color=#cd0404>insert TITLE here</font></td></tr>
<tr><td align=justify bgcolor=#cd0404><font color=#EE9C00>insert DESCRIPTION here</font><br></td></tr>
</table>
</span>

Now, what I want to happen, which is what happens in Internet Explorer (v6 win), is that the two spans above lay side by side. If I put a dozen of them, and stretch the window width to, say, 1000pixel, they will tile sideways to fill the new width, so there will be 4 of them on a row, and then they'll break line, checkering the page.

However, this won't work in Netscape 4.79. Not even changing the display or position css properties will do the trick, which is downright annoying. They just stack in a column. I actually resorted to span because it should be an inline box, but perhaps something is escaping my perception of the matter.

I unfortunately need to have this work on both browsers, so if anybody has any idea how to fix or workaround this, thanks in advance.
