Is it possible to get text div to auto size?

Question

I created an empty text box div with width 0 and height 0. I would like it to expand to accomodate text assigned to it in code to fit in one line on the click of a button. How would I do this without pre determining the width of the box?

Answer 1

I finally found how to change the css text properties of a text box (div) in the compositionName_edge.js file that Edge generates when you save the project so that the text box would resize dynamically something like Flash dynamic text fields that resize to the left depending on the text you give it in code.
In the file look for id:'name_of_your_text_div' and under rect:[ the last 4 items should be set to auto].
Then look for states object and under "${_name_of_your_text_div}" remove all styles execept top and left.
I'm hoping that Adobe will eventually make it easier to do that in the properties panel.
