CSS fixed width in a span

In an ideal world you’d achieve this simply using the following css

<style type="text/css">

span {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 50px;
}

</style>

This works on all browsers apart from FF2 and below.

Firefox 2 and lower don’t support this
value. You can use -moz-inline-box,
but be aware that it’s not the same as
inline-block, and it may not work as
you expect in some situations.
