inline vs block 
errata so far:
- at least in firefox, <input> & <button> are inline-block by default, not inline
- the width on a block element defaults to auto, not 100% (though it will often look like it's 100%)
- you can set the width on an inline element if it's a "replaced" element
- at least in firefox, <input> & <button> are inline-block by default, not inline
- the width on a block element defaults to auto, not 100% (though it will often look like it's 100%)
- you can set the width on an inline element if it's a "replaced" element
this "replaced element" thing is really confusing (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…). I did some tests and it seems like in Firefox a textarea is `display: inline` by default, but it's a "replaced element" so you can still set the width in CSS
i think if I keep writing about CSS i am going to have to read more of the CSS spec than I ever thought I would (here's the section of the CSS 2.1 spec on width of inline elements: w3.org/TR/CSS21/visud…)
