Option 1  Use float left on both div elements and set a   width for both div elements with a combined total width of 100    Use box-sizing  border-box  on the floating div elements  The value border-box forces the padding and borders into the width and height instead of expanding it   Use clearfix on the  lt div id  wrapper  gt  to clear the floating child elements which will make the wrapper div scale to the correct height    clearfix after      content           visibility  hidden     display  block     height  0     clear  both      first   second    box-sizing  border-box    -moz-box-sizing  border-box    -webkit-box-sizing  border-box      wrapper       width  500px      border  1px solid black     first       border  1px solid red      float left      width 50      second       border  1px solid green      float left      width 50       http   jsfiddle net dqC8t 3381   Option 2  Use position absolute on one element and a fixed width on the other element   Add position relative to  lt div id  wrapper  gt  element to make child elements absolutely position to the  lt div id  wrapper  gt  element    wrapper       width  500px      border  1px solid black      position relative     first       border  1px solid red      width 100px     second       border  1px solid green      position absolute      top 0      left 100px      right 0      http   jsfiddle net dqC8t 3382   Option 3  Use display inline-block on both div elements and set a   width for both div elements with a combined total width of 100    And again  same as float left example  use box-sizing  border-box  on the div elements  The value border-box forces the padding and borders into the width and height instead of expanding it   NOTE  inline-block elements can have spacing issues as it is affected by spaces in HTML markup  More information here  https   css-tricks com fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements    first   second    box-sizing  border-box    -moz-box-sizing  border-box    -webkit-box-sizing  border-box      wrapper       width  500px      border  1px solid black      position relative      first       width 50       border  1px solid red      display inline-block      second       width 50       border  1px solid green      display inline-block      http   jsfiddle net dqC8t 3383   A final option would be to use the new display option named flex  but note that browser compatibility might come in to play   http   caniuse com  feat flexbox  http   www sketchingwithcss com samplechapter cheatsheet html

here is the solution    wrapper       width  500px      border  1px solid black      overflow  auto     so the size of the wrapper is alway the size of the longest content       first       float  left      width  300px      border  1px solid red     second       border  1px solid green      margin  0 0 0 302px     considering the border you need to use a margin so the content does not float under the first div       your demo updated   http   jsfiddle net dqC8t 1

Float one or both inner divs   Floating one div    wrapper       width  500px      border  1px solid black      overflow  hidden     will contain if  first is longer than  second       first       width  300px      float left     add this        border  1px solid red     second       border  1px solid green      overflow  hidden     if you don t want  second to wrap below  first        or if you float both  you ll need to encourage the wrapper div to contain both the floated children  or it will think it s empty and not put the border around them  Floating both divs    wrapper       width  500px      border  1px solid black      overflow  hidden     add this to contain floated children       first       width  300px      float left     add this        border  1px solid red     second       border  1px solid green      float  left     add this
