Can a div auto-detect the width of its contents?

Question

By default, a div's width will extend as far as its container allows (100%) and we can restrict this by specifying width values. But I'm not looking to do either one. Instead, I'd like to know if there's a way to make a div adopt the width value of its contents dynamically?
In other words, wrap tightly around its contents, instead of expanding to fill whatever space allows.
<div>
  <img src="image.jpg">
</div>
Where image.jpg is 200px wide and so is the div that's containing it.

Yes you can do it.  You need to float the DIVs either left or right.  The process of floating the div shrinks the div to fit the contents.  Try it and let us know if this works in your case.
Good luck.
