How to use divs instead of tables

Question

I am trying to create the following table layout, but I want to use DIV instead of TABLE:

------------------
|       |        |
| CELL1 |  CELL2 |
|       |              


        

Answer 1

You need inline-block and float: here's the jsFiddle

.list-row {
    background:#f4f4f4;
    display:inline-block;
    border:2px solid red;}

.list-left {
    width:auto;
    padding:10px;
    float:left;
    border: 2px solid blue;}

.list-right {
    padding:10px;
    float:right;
    border:2px solid green;}

Also, since you're not using relative or absolute positioning, you don't need to specify top and left.
