I have the following code.
<span style="width:100px;background-color:Red;">text</span>
<span style="width:100px;background-color:Green;">test</span>
<span style="width:100px;background-color:Blue;">test</span>

In IE, it displays just like I intended: 100 pixels of red color,
followed by 100 pixels of green color, followed by 100 pixels of blue
color all on the same line.

Firefox ignores the 'width' attribute. It only displays the red color
enough to display the word 'test'. I can't use the DIV tag because it
forces a line break. I need all this stuff to be on the same line.

What can I do to replicate the behaviour above in Firefox?

Thanks.
