div alignment with no floats

side by side div alignment with no floats

[zackelliott]

Hello,
Is there any way to get 2 divs aligned horizontally without using floats?

Welcome aboard zackelliott, you could set the display to inline for this div class, but it has an interesting side effect. Note it won't react to width properties as an inline element.

I have already found that setting the display to inline and floating the divs works quite well but it is covering up my sticky footer. When i just have the display set to inline without the floats it comes out all weird and screwed up.

Did you put a "clear float" div in between the two divs and the footer?

I'd try
display:inline-block
Do note that in legacy IE versions, it might need a trigger back to display:inline

Or using positioning (but then positioing somethign under it becomes *very* difficult)

But it's perhaps more interesting to figure out why you don't want floats as I think most disadvantages can be solved.
