Re: 2 divs on same line

For years I have not been able to understand what's wrong with table layout.
May be because I am an application developer as opposed to a web designer.
Tables let your make a simple and neat layout and concentrate on your
application tasks. I guess web designers can achieve more with tableless
css. I prefer to leave it up to them. As far as I, the developer, am
concerned there is no reason to avoid tables.

If you want to impress someone by having a table-less css layout, be
prepare to spend next few days on learning and practicing.

If you want a simple and reliable solution, use tables.

And yes, by default a div will render on a separate line.

Hi

i have a requirement for the following layout in my masterpage:

1 div for header
1 div for footer

Between those divs i want a div for the left menu, then a div for the
content in the center, then inside each i will place a content holder
for other pages to inherit off

My problem is a div creates a new line? And everyone says not to use
tables anymore, so how do you get that look with css?

Thanks
