I am having some trouble with aligning two div boxes next to each other;. Or more correctly, I have aligned my two “head” boxes next to each other but my problem is that I am using them as a expand-collapse container and those boxes will not align correctly.

I am posting the entire code beneath and would be grateful if someone had a solution to this problem, which probably is not that difficult. And another problem is, that when I expand the hidden area the two boxes “resets” and again stand under each other.

    This worked for me on Firefox 3.7a. Two things changed: added a doctype and wrapped each column in a wrapper. Wrapper class could probably be named something more semantic, that’s up to you.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

    <script type="text/javascript">$(function(){
$("#mostrar1").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja1").slideToggle();
                });

$("#caja1 a").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja1").slideUp();
                });
$("#mostrar2").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja2").slideToggle();
                });

$("#caja2 a").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja2").slideUp();
                });
}); </script>

<style type="text/css">
.wrapper {
    width: 30%;
    float: left;
}
.slide-out-div {
       padding: 20px;
       width: 250px;
       background: #031F2F;
       margin: 0px;
    }

            #caja1 {
            display: none;
            padding:5px;
            border:2px solid #FFFFFF;
            background-color:#99a8ff;
            }

            #mostrar1{
            display:block;
            padding:5px;
            border:2px solid #FFFFFF;
            background-color:#0C415F;
            color: #FFFFFF;
            }

            #caja2 {
