Div next to div

[gwar2k1]

Im having trouble positioning two divs next to each other. I cant use position: absolute for this task, and relative doesn't work. Does any one have suggestions?

TIA

actually doesnt matter, i placed one ontop of another (the one on the bottom being width: 100%, the one ontop being width: 50% does the trick =)

But if any one knows a work around itd be nice

take a look to the source of this page:

He use "float: left" and "float: right". may be this could help you.

Cheers.

You could also use both position:absolute and position:relative to achieve the same goal.

Just so you know ;o)

To use position:absolute, sometimes you have to wrap your element inside another, and give that outer element either absolute or relative positioning... Not doing that could cause your absolute position to be relative to the window coordinates, not it's usual position.

<div>
<div 2>
</div 2>
</div>

Hey my site made it as an example!

I could have set both divs to float left if I wanted and I can't really remember why I made one float left and one float right!

I think when I was experimenting with a layout using percentages it was easier to float it on the right than try to get it aligned on the left.

gwar3k1: your wrapping example is correct and thanks for spotting my bad grammer. You get a star!
