setting the widths of SPANS

[mark | r]

Hi there

im setting the widths of spans to indent content i.e.

<span>number of items</span>0
<span>subtotal </span>£0.00

it looks great in ie quirks mode, but not when i add a doctype
(transitional)

what do i need to to to recreate this functionality?

thanks

mark

inline elements don't support the width property. Quirks mode is
wrong.

The sample data above looks like a table might be appropriate.

Otherwise, the most widely supported alternative might be
span {float: left; clear: left; width: XXXem;}
