Question

I’m looking for a super easy method to create a two column format to display some data on a webpage. How can i achieve the same format as:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>AAA</td>
        <td>BBB</td>
    </tr>
</table>

I’m open to HTML5 / CSS3 techniques as well.

<style type="text/css">
#wrap {
   width:600px;
   margin:0 auto;
}
#left_col {
   float:left;
   width:300px;
}
#right_col {
   float:right;
   width:300px;
}
</style>

<div id="wrap">
    <div id="left_col">
        ...
    </div>
    <div id="right_col">
        ...
    </div>
</div>

Make sure that the sum of the colum-widths equals the wrap width. Alternatively you can use percentage values for the width as well.
