[xsl] RE: Inline Blocks?

["Kevin Brown" <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with the first response, this is merely a table with three columns,
with column-width="300px" ... or is there some reason that a table cannot be
used? I would guess a silly case would be to replicate a table with floats
... like this .. would do the same thing.

Is there any way to create an inline element with a fixed width?

If I am repeating through nine elements, and I have 900px to work with, I w=
=3D ould like three 300px items on each line. Is that possible?
