Let's dive into an example for better understanding:
Here is the HTML code snippet:
<div id="a">AAAAAAA</div>
<div id="b">BBBBBBB</div>
<div id="c">CCCCCCC</div>
<div id="d">DDDDDDD</div>
This is followed by the relevant CSS:
div { display:block; position:relative; float:left; }
#a { width:25%; height:100px; background-color:#ff00ff; }
#b { width:25%; height:100px; background-color:#ffff00;}
#c { width:25%; height:100px; background-color:#FF0000;}
#d { width:25%; height:400px; background-color:#CCCCCC;}
#e { width:150px; height:50px; background-color:#00FF00;}
The objective is to have the green box positioned just below the purple box.
In a practical scenario, I utilize a script that generates similar square boxes:

The challenge lies in arranging the last two boxes, which are meant to adjust themselves within the remaining space without any gaps as it is already perfectly calculated.
Key constraints include:
- The order of the boxes cannot be altered
- The HTML structure must remain unchanged
- Avoiding the use of absolute positioning (top/right/bottom/left) is necessary
Is achieving this goal possible?
Your insights and assistance are greatly appreciated!
