Aligning two div's next to each other using CSS




I have been asked this question several times - How to align two DIV's next to each other using CSS. Here's a simple solution that I have been using for quite a while now:


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">


<head runat="server">


    <title></title>


    <style type="text/css">


    div.Outer {


        width: 350px;


        border:dashed 1px black;


        position: relative;


        clear: both;


        }


 


        div.InnerLeft {


        width: 50%;


        position: relative;


        background: #CCCCCC;        


        float: left;


        }


 


        div.InnerRight {


        width: 49%;


        position: relative;


        background: #AAAAFF;        


        float: right;


        }


    </style>


</head>


<body>


    <form id="form1" runat="server">


    <div class="Outer">


        <div class="InnerLeft">


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        </div>


        <div class="InnerRight">


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum


        </div>


    </div>


    </form>


</body>


</html>

    This will only work if the text in the left and the text in the right box have the same length? Or err I?

    Thank you VERY much. I'm not an expert with CSS, and this has really saved me a lot of time.
