Html – min-width doesn’t work

XHTML 1 specification says:

С.3. Element Minimization and Empty Element Content

Given an empty instance of an element whose content model is not EMPTY (for example, an empty title or paragraph) do not use the minimized form (e.g. use <p> </p> and not <p />).

XHTML DTD specifies script elements as:

<!-- script statements, which may include CDATA sections -->
<!ELEMENT script (#PCDATA)>

Thanks Attack. I wanted to use jQuery.

You pointed me in the right direction, and this is what I ended up with:

Here is a link to the plugin: https://plugins.jquery.com/textfill/
And a link to the source: http://jquery-textfill.github.io/

;(function($) {
    $.fn.textfill = function(options) {
        var fontSize = options.maxFontPixels;
        var ourText = $('span:visible:first', this);
        var maxHeight = $(this).height();
        var maxWidth = $(this).width();
        var textHeight;
        var textWidth;
        do {
            ourText.css('font-size', fontSize);
            textHeight = ourText.height();
            textWidth = ourText.width();
            fontSize = fontSize - 1;
        } while ((textHeight > maxHeight || textWidth > maxWidth) && fontSize > 3);
        return this;
    }
})(jQuery);

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.jtextfill').textfill({ maxFontPixels: 36 });
});

and my html is like this

<div class='jtextfill' style='width:100px;height:50px;'>
    <span>My Text Here</span>
</div>

This is my first jquery plugin, so it's probably not as good as it should be. Pointers are certainly welcome.
