[SOLVED] div width position absolute

[jaymc]

I have a div with the following CSS properties

 

.pop_menu {
left:0;
padding:5px;
position:absolute;
}

 

My problem is, unless I specify a static width in the css the div does not expand to the length of the line text

e.g

 

This should be one line

 

Becomes

 

This
should
be
one
line

white-space: pre;

 

Fixed the problem.
