    hello,

    i want to replace my table by div

    the thing i want

    <___the_header___>
    <col1_150px><col2>

    below the begining of my code

    
<div style="width:50px; border:1px solid #000;">
	<div style="width:100px;">HEADER</div>
	<div style="width:10px; float:left;">COL1</div>
	<div style="float:left;">COL2______________</div>
</div>
    HTML:
    the problem is that COL2 don't stay on the same line of COL1.
    The widh of the main table must be 50px because sometime COL2 can be set to 100% and i don't want the table expend to all the width of the browser.

    in table it's will be easy to do :

    
<table width="50" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2">HEADER</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="10px">COL1</td>
    <td>COL2______________</td>
  <tr>
<table>
    HTML:
    thanks by advance for you help !

    The container div is 50 pixels, and two others are 100 and 10, which is 110 pixels total.
    The container must be at least 110 pixels wide then.

    i know, but in the table it's work ok !

    but i write a mistake and i want something like

    <div style="width:50px; border:1px solid #000;">
    <div style="width:100%">HEADER</div>
    <div style="width:10px; float:left;">COL1</div>
    <div style="float:left;">COL2______________</div>
    </div>

    see 100% inplace of 100px

    in fact i simply want to translate

    <table width="50" border="1">
    <tr>
    <td colspan="2">HEADER</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="10px">COL1</td>
    <td>COL2______________</td>
    <tr>
    <table>

    in div !

    thanks again

    Set col2 to a set width if you don't want it to expand to far, that's what I would do.

    sorry, looking at your new code, I think you need to set col2 to a width, wheter it is percentage or pixel or it will always bump down. If you don't set a width it will just try to expand to 100% everytime and bump down. Let me know if this works.

    yes, but in fact i can not set a width to col2 as it's depend of it's content.

    in fact, i simply want to transform in div this :

    <table width="50" border="1">
    <tr>
    <td colspan="2">HEADER</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="10px">COL1</td>
    <td>COL2______________</td>
    <tr>
    <table>
