wrapable tags (CSS related)

[IncredibleGuy]

Hey, I've been working with <div> and <p> tags and am a little upset by the fact that these tags don't wrap to the text inside them. What I mean by that is that if I were to apply CSS elements like border or background color to a p or div tag, the border or bg color will stretch across the entire page instead of just ending where the text inside them ends. HOWEVER, I have noticed that all my A HREF tags do, in fact, wrap around there text (which is a very convenient) when CSS styles are applied, and I was wondering if there were any other HTML tags that contain  this useful feature as well.

Thanks in advance
MJ

Use display: block display: inline on the object in question or on the parent object.

If that doesn't fix it, your HTML code isn't proper.
