side by side divs without a break...

Mel

i need to have as many as 5 divs side by side on the same line without a
break. if browser displays a horizontal scrollbar, its ok with my users and
they can resize it.

something like the following:

X X X X X

where each 'X' is a div with my stuff inside them and i dont want it to look
like

X X X
X

or something like that

thanks for your help

Wrap them in a div with a fixed width that holds all 5 inner divs.

no you would do it like:

<div style=float:left;clear:right>
.....
</div>

you can place as many as you like to fill your ONE row

Hang on - you are asking how to put 5 divs in a row without wrapping
to a next line, I give you a solution, and then you tell me it's not
correct? Why did you ask, and have you tried your own solution?

But obviously you didn't think that there is other possibilities to do
same thing. And it is interesting, as your "solution" don't do what you
asked, and Els' solution does.

I don't appreciate your top posting, lack of capitals and snipping, so
you never get any help from me.

Then I guess you didn't explain yourself enough. Weren't you asking
for divs in a row that should not wrap to the next line? If you now
make your window narrower, you're saying the row doesn't wrap the divs
and a horizontal scrollbar appears? I doubt that.

No problem.
