-Of bare text? I think you'd need a container of some sort. Then it's
possible.

Position the div absolutely.

Half lies are worth twice as much as whole lies.

For HTML, no.
It would have to be a client-side function since a div normally expands
to the width of its container. If it is floated, then it shrinkwraps the
text, probably. In either case it depends on the client's current setup:
the width of the viewport, the metrics of the font set.
What is your application that needs to know this information?

There is a discussion about this here:
.
The fifth message in the thread may be of interest to you.
As I understand it, it's only possible to get the width of a DIV using
Javascript in IE (<7?) if it has been specifically set using CSS. In
which case you'd probably know it already.
I've uploaded a simplified page using the method described to
.
Try loading the page into Firefox, Opera or Safari and then hitting
the refresh button in the browser.
As usual IE, versions less then 7 anyway, is the odd man out.
