Troubleshooting the issue with the <div> tag in ASP.NET MVC 2 and the "float: left;" property. Any solutions to

Issue with the usage of <div> elements

Everything runs smoothly: Text "Whatever" appears in column 1, followed by a radio button:

No issues here (text without a radio button):

The cell immediately following the text "Whatever" should display in column 1 of the next row rather than directly below the text.

Context:

The table structure is generated by my HTML helper, which creates ASP.NET MVC2 code to present radio buttons alongside images within a table layout.

The HTML helper initiates the creation of a table containing five radio buttons organized into two columns and includes one radio button labeled "Whatever." (Additional parameters are involved, but that's not the concern...)

The table is constructed using <div> tags exclusively (no <table> tag at all!). I apply styles like "width: 50%;" for tables featuring two columns and use "float: left;" as well.

Everything functions properly until the radio button with only text (without any image) needs to be displayed in the last column. For instance, refer to picture 2: The radio button following the "text radio button" should appear in the first column after it, NOT underneath the text.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Further details: Same behavior noted in both IE and Firefox browsers.

Thank you for the prompt response! As requested:

Puzzling situation (initially):

Easily explained: Visualize a chain effect where the cell/radio button with the 5 images shifts "two positions/columns to the right" (its correct placement), causing subsequent cells/radio buttons to follow suit. This would result in everything being appropriately positioned. ;-)

Answer №1

While it may seem silly to answer one's own question, I feel compelled to share what I have discovered ;-)

The issue was a missing "wrapping" div tag that essentially instructs the following nested div tags to form ONE COMPLETE row!

<div style="width:100%;">
