Way to stop DIVs from wrapping?

[Jeff Bowman]

<div id="Outer">
<div style="float:left;" id="InnerLeft">Left Content</div>
<div style="float:right;" id="InnerRight">Right Content</div>
</div>

Is there a way to stop InnerRight from shifting underneath InnerLeft when the
browser is resized smaller?

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff Bowman ... output:

<div id="Outer">
<div style="float:left;" id="InnerLeft">Left Content</div>
<div style="float:right;" id="InnerRight">Right Content</div>
</div>

the browser is resized smaller?

To achieve wrapping with smaller browser width you can use 'float'.
If you don't like it don't use it.

Hi Jan, thanks for your reply.

Actually, I'm looking for a way to /stop/ wrapping, even when the browser is
resized smaller. I'd like to have the DIVs' contents stay on the same horizontal
plane and a horizontal scrollbar to appear, just like how a table behaves.

Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks,
Jeff

Absolute positioning within a positioned wrapper?

<div style="position:relative">
<div style="width:50%;position:absolute;top:0;left:0">...</div>
<div style="width:50%;position:absolute;top:0;left:50%">...</div>
</div>

Add salt and pepper to taste.

By George, I think he's got it!

Thanks, Toby.
