Question

I have a problem with div floating ,

I have used two DIVs that float left , but if div 2 has large text , it loads under div one , how can I prevent this , I want two divs load inline . I have used inline-block but not worked .

<div style="width: 100%;overflow:hidden;">
 <div style="float: left;width:">Left Stuff</div>
 <div style="float: left;margin-left:10px;">    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

 <br style="clear: left;" />
</div>

Answer 1

Will http://jsfiddle.net/pS6Gg/4/ or http://jsfiddle.net/pS6Gg/5/ do it?

The first possibility lets the second div flow around the first,

<div style="float: left; width: 50px;">Left Stuff</div>
<div style="margin-left:10px;">... text ...</div>

and the second creates a column effect by defining the first div’s width and and giving the parent div a defined height for the children to fill.

<div style="width: 100%;overflow:hidden; height:200px;">              <-- parent height 
<div style="float: left; width: 50px; height:100%;">Left Stuff</div>
<div style="margin-left:10px; height:100%;">
