Question

I have two divs side by side. I want div that is on left hand side to take up as much room as it needs without pushing the other div (on right) to next line.

Here is what I have right now: http://jsfiddle.net/RALza/

HTML

<div id="container">
    <div id="divA"> left text </div>
    <div id="divB">  right text </div>
</div>

CSS

#divA
{
  float:left;
  border:1px solid blue;
  width:100%;
}

#divB
{
  float:right;
  border:1px solid red;
}

Answer 1

<div id="container">
    <div id="divB">  right text </div>
    <div id="divA"> left text </div>
</div>

#divA
{
  overflow:auto;
  border:1px solid blue;
}

#divB
{
  float:right;
  border:1px solid red;
}

will work.

But you should specify width of floating elements.
