Jeff Starr explains a classic CSS layout issue and suggests a fix. It's the overflow that does it by triggering what I believe is called a new block formatting context.

Force Margin/Padding On Element Next To Floated Element is a post from CSS-Tricks

I have no doubt CSS will allow this one day, but right now, you can't animate the width or height of an element from a fixed value to auto. This is particularly useful when the desire is to animate from hidden to visible like jQuery's slideDown(). Nikita Vasilyev shows how you can do it with a touch of JS, but still using CSS for the actual animation/transition.

The more difficult one is to auto: 1) measure width 2) set auto 3) measure again 4) set back to previous 5) force repaint 6) apply transition 7) change width to measured auto value 8) set to auto for real. #wipesbrow

And yeah there is the max-height/width technique, but I'm not a fan. It messes with the transition timings and requires magic numbers.
