After successfully aligning two divs side by side using
<div class="clear"></div>
techniques from previous sources, I am now faced with a new challenge. I want to display two divs next to each other within a fixed-size container that allows horizontal scrolling. While vertical space is not an issue, the divs should expand vertically if necessary. If additional room is required horizontally, they must enlarge inside the fixed-width box with a scrollable interior.
I have come across code snippets that achieve this layout using tables, but I prefer a solution with div elements for semantic reasons. Unfortunately, my attempts with divs, even when utilizing <div class="clear">
, result in the second content pane appearing below the first one instead of beside it. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
