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

```auto

--------------------------------------
| | |
| 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.
