Replicating <td>’s with CSS

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 03.2007

I am just now converting from tables to divs and I cannot seem to figure out how to replicate the <td> function that table offers. Basically I just want to know how you can make two divs set next to each other (horizontal) instead of sitting on top of each other (vertical).

Sorry for what is probably a very remedial question.

@dtm32236Dec 03.2007 — there may be a better way to do this, but my ghetto way of doing it is by adding float:left and width to the divs:

[code=html]<div style="float:left; width:50%;">content</div>
<div style="float:left; width:50%;">content</div>[/code]

and that should do it.

try using 49%.

some browsers (IE6) only does this correctly if the sum percentage of the divs is under 100%.
