Stretching div's width

[Dathremar]

I will try to explain the problem as much as I can before posting the code.

I have a div which's width is determined by the size of the content. It contains two div's, one is the div which contains the picture and the second one is the div that has the description of the picture: date of upload and name of the file (this needs to be glued to the right side of the div).

Here is the html code for it:

 

<div class="box">
<div class="picture">
	<img src="path/to/img" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="description">
	<span id="date">date of upload</span> <span id="picture_name">picture_name</span>
</div>
</div>

 

And the problem here is when I have small pictures the "description" row can't get the width I need without breaking (because I am putting float right on the picture name). The file name goes on other row.

The question is how to stretch the row, so the date and picture name are on the same row?

I'm sure your not giving us all the info we need.

The widest div : either the  picture div or the description div will determine the width of the box div. Nothing should break. Picture on top date and name on the bottom.

 

(because I am putting float right on the picture name)

Kinda tells me you have given the box div dimensions. Lets see the whole code, please. Or remove the width of the box div.

True what You say that the widest div gives the width of the box. The problem is (and I think it is only in IE9) that when the width of the div should be determined by the width of the description row, it pushes the floated span in the next row.

There is nothing more to the code because this is a absolute positioned div on the screen (like a lightbox)

Let me rephrase that:

 

You say "I am putting float right on the picture name" but you do not give us that code.

you say "because this is a absolute positioned div" but you do not give us that code.

 

PLEASE give us the ENTIRE code for this.
