 * I’m looking to make the width of the title menu a fixed width. I’ve modified 
   the CSS of the plugin like this and I thought it would work.
 * ‘.collapseomatic {
    color: white; width: auto; background-image: url(images/arrow-
   down.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding: 0 0 0px 16px; background-color:#
   759995; border-style:outset; border-width:3px; cursor: pointer; }’
 * However, it does not. I’ve tried setting a size width as well, also messing with
   the padding and margins to fix it, but it’s not working.
 * Here is the site, [http://www.buydirectcompositefence.com/product-details](http://www.buydirectcompositefence.com/product-details).
 * I can modify the color of the box, the text, the margins, but not the width of
   the container. Does anyone have any good ideas?
 * Thanks,
    David

 * By default the shortcode will use a span tag as the trigger text wrapper. Spans
   can not be set to a specific width. Use the [Tag Attribute](http://plugins.twinpictures.de/plugins/collapse-o-matic/documentation/#tag)
   to change the wrapper to a div or h3 like so:
 *     ```
       [expand title="test" tag="div"]content...[/expand]
       ```
   
 * Also, it’s not recommended that you change the plugin’s style.css, as this will
   be overwritten when/if you update the plugin. Better to ‘overwrite’ the css in
   your theme’s style.css… or better yet, create a special class, and assign this
   class using the trigclass attribute.
 * Let us know if you get it sussed out.

 * That made everything work great. The tag feature is awesome. It will help me 
   customize those areas a lot.
