Is it possible to have a fluid div width that would expand/contract to suit the content. For example a header div that would expand to 740px with a 740px header image or would expand to 640px with a 640px image? I know it is possible with tables but can this been done with css?

If I understand you correctly you want a div that will expand to fit an image. Thde only way I can think of off the top of my head would be:

HTML:

<div class="expand">
<img src="#" alt="demo" width="200" height="100" />
</div>


CSS:

div.expand {
float:left; /*This will cause it to wrap around it's content*/
}


I think that should work. You can obviously add other properties to it to ensure that it fits correctly in your site.

Hope that helps
