Is there a disadvantage of using `display:table-cell`on divs?

Question

What I am trying to accomplish is having a fixed-width first div and a fluid second div which will fill up the rest width of the parent div\'s width.

Answer 1

To get the first example working, you should also float the containing div, this will make sure that both of the elements within sit as you would expect within it. Not really sure what you mean by 'is a pain', though?
