[SOLVED] how to put divs next to each other

[lostboys]

can anyone tell me if there is another way f putting divs next to each other without floating them both to the left or is there no other way

[Jack Franklin]

Absolute positioning? I dont understand really why you want to know!

[lostboys]

as floating it to the left just isnt working for me on this site

Can we see the site?

Make sure the width of the divs is the right size. If they are in a Wrapper of 800px and each is 405px, they will not display next to each other.

ill upload it i tried Absolute positioning but that didnt work the problem is the ftr keeps going next to the rest of the divs and not staying at the bottom but when i view it it looks fine but in dreamweaver its all next to each other

http://rawfreelance.co.uk theres the link i cant get the div under the nav to go to the left without either the nav roll overs stoping or the ftr jumping to the right side of the wrap

Don't use absolute positioning, it's just a regular pain in the butt!
For what you are doing floating is the least complex.

Your solution to your problem is so easy you'll die!

Float the two columns left.
Add to the footer css this code

Code: Select all

clear: both;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that doesn't do the trick and keep your footer below the two divs, then put a clear div in

Column code
<div class="clear"></div>
Footer code

Css for this is

Code: Select all

.clear {
	height:1px;
	margin:0 0 -1px 0;
	clear:both;
	overflow:hidden;
}

That will solve all your problems.
