How do I keep CSS floats in one line?

by

Another option is, instead of floating, to set the white-space property nowrap to a parent div:

.parent {
     white-space: nowrap;
}

and reset the white-space and use an inline-block display so the divs stay on the same line but you can still give it a width.

.child {
    display:inline-block;
    width:300px;
    white-space: normal;
}
