Div positioning

I’m trying to do this: have one div element position to the right of another div element.


--------------------------------------
|        |                           |
| Div 1  |         Div 2             |
|        |                           |
--------------------------------------

I tried a lot, but doesn’t work.
Please help.

I can’t use float, because all this is inside another large container…

Nevermind, I’ll just use fixed width and height div 1. That’ll solve the problem.
