Div side by side without float

by

The usual method when not using floats is to use display: inline-block: http://www.jsfiddle.net/zygnz/1/

.container div {
  display: inline-block;
}

Do note its limitations though: There is a additional space after the first bloc – this is because the two blocks are now essentially inline elements, like a and em, so whitespace between the two counts. This could break your layout and/or not look nice, and I’d prefer not to strip out all whitespaces between characters for the sake of this working.

Floats are also more flexible, in most cases.
