I have a CSS setup where I have an PNG image, absolutely positioned, with a transparent area that acts as sort of a window for a div full of images to show through behind it. That div is absolutely positioned as well, and its contents are a series of images floated left so that they are all in a single line.
The problem is that this div full of images is much wider than the container, so unless I specify a width for the image container div, the images all just stack up vertically. I want them to line up side by side, but I can't hard code a value for the width of the containing div, because it can change. How do I do this? Here's my code:
<div class="slider_box">
<div class="slider_images">
<img class="slider_image" src="img/share/recipes/pizza.jpg" alt="Pizza"/>
<img class="slider_image" src="img/share/recipes/pizza.jpg" alt="Pizza"/>
<img class="slider_image" src="img/share/recipes/pizza.jpg" alt="Pizza"/>
<img class="slider_image" src="img/share/recipes/pizza.jpg" alt="Pizza"/>
<img class="slider_image" src="img/share/recipes/pizza.jpg" alt="Pizza"/>
</div> <!--images show through the slider mask, and should be floated left (or inline-block). Currently can't be side by side without specifying width of slider_images-->
<img class="slider_mask" alt="Slider Mask" src="img/share_recipe_mask.png"/><!--sits on top of slider images -->
<h4>Semolina <br/>Olive Oil Cake</h4> <!--sits on top of slider mask-->
</div>
.slider_box {
width:190px; height:220px; position: absolute; overflow: hidden;
.slider_images {
position: absolute; bottom: 0;
img { float: none; width: 190px; height:158px; }
}
.slider_mask { position: absolute; }
h4 { .cubano; font-size:1.8em; position: absolute; color: #fff; top:11px; left:14px; line-height: 110%; }
}
CSS

.slider_images {

}
.slider_mask { position: absolute; }

.slider_nav {
.slider_nav_btn { width:10px; height:10px; display:inline-block; .border-radius(50%,50%,50%,50%); color: #f3895f; }
.slider_nav_btn:hover { color: @redDk; }
}
