Align two cells next to each other

I’m attempting to align two cells next to each other. The code i have works for IE but not Firefox. Firefox places the second cell (form-right) underneath the first cell (form-left). Here is the code i’m using.

[code=php]
<style type=”text/css”>
#form-left {
float:left;
width:45%;
}
#form-right {
width:45%;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<h3>Looking for work?</h3>
<div id=”form-left”>
Forename1:*
</div>
<div id=”form-right”>
Surname1:*
</div>
</body>
[/code]

@kiwibritNov 01.2005 — Hmm.

My current style for left and right is:
.left {
clear: left;
float: left;
width:49%;
margin-bottom:.5em;
}

.right {
float:right;
width:50%;
margin-bottom:.5em;
}

Works fine for me - but I think floats in both left and right is frowned on by some.

Bottom margin is for spacing from further rows - when the left and right classes are placed in wrapping divs.

If you are only going to place things left and right once, id is fine. Otherwise I would use class.

@cootheadNov 01.2005 — Hi there silencer01,

try it like this...
[color=navy]&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#form-left {
float:left;
width:45%;
}
#form-right {[color=purple]
float:left;[/color]
width:45%;
}
&lt;/style&gt;[/color]

Success!
