horizontal spacing between 2 divs

[Poonam]

Hi there.
How can i maintain the spacing between to divs if palced side by side with
10px spacing between them..

Not using any tables. And atleast making one of the div relative
positioning.

Depends how you are placing them side by side.
Not using any tables.
Good (unless you have some tabular data somewhere)
And atleast making one of the div relative positioning.

Why?

can't you just use margin settings

i.e. margin-right:10px;

for your left DIV

Make sure you understand what relative positioning really means. It
doesn't mean "positioning an element relative to another element" (which
usually requires *absolute* positioning). It means "positioning an element
relative to the place where it would have appeared if it hadn't been
positioned." In other words, it means "lay out the page as if the element
hadn't been positioned, and then move the element without moving anything
else." In particular, that means "do *not* close up the space that the
element would have occupied if it hadn't been positioned."
