Nested div

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 08.2007

I have been trying without luck to fit two divs side by side inside another. The right one keeps falling below the left one though not directly. I can’t figure out what I have done wrong, but certainly nothing is OK. Anyone out there ?

<div>
<leftdiv>
<div>
<rightdiv>
</div>
</div>

<div style="width:30%;float:left">next div</div>

I.e. width and float is the key.

@bingecoderauthorOct 08.2007 — I want to size by actual width. Total width is 1000. Left box is 200 and right is 780 .

@tgormtxOct 08.2007 — [CODE]<div style="width:1000px;">
<div style="float:left;width:200px;">Left Div Tag</div>
<div style="float:left;width:780px;">Right Div Tag</div>
</div>[/CODE]


Ray is right: Float and width are key. You might also need to check out browser compatibility. Do a Google search on the Box Model Hack if you start having issues with cross browser issues.
