Is it possible to float two divs side-by-side without setting width?


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to put two divs side by side. I want the div on the right to take up as much room as it needs (php echos code for an image in this div, so the width needs to be variable for images of different widths) and the one on the left to take up whatever room is left. I can't get it to work without setting the width of the left div in advance, though. Is what I'm asking possible?

I can be completly dumb, but, why don't you let them overlap each other?

Obviously what you have to the left is less important and probably is some sort of menu. To the right is a photo

Got may an image of what you had in mind. If i were to create something like this, i wouldn't use javascript to set width for my framework.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
