div element positioning

i want to align 4 div elements horizontally without using a table.
<div 1></div> <div 2></div> <div 3></div> <div 4></div>
Out of 4 div, first div may have variable content from database and adjust its width. Besides that, other three div should adjust themself and fit in a single line.
How can i set the styles for the above scenario?

Also in #CSS _↴
