IE7 DIV width problem

In IE6 I can force a DIV to automatically size to the width of its contents
by setting its width to 1px. This doesn't work in IE7, it tries to render
the DIV at the specified width, cutting off its contents. If I remove the
width entirely, the DIV goes to 100% of the screen width. Will I not be able
to have any shrink-to-fit DIV's in IE7?

Are you doing it like this: ?

<div style="width:auto;">

Never mind, I foudn the problem. I had a buried element within the DIV that
was 100% width.

Thanks,
