css positioning

Question

Hello,
I have uploaded a part of my screen below (link: http://yfrog.com/0d30127380p)

It is part of a forum, so there are elements above and below it. The "Response Req.. Date" has a label, a date picker, and two drop down select control for time. I tried setting the width of the datepicker element, and a right margin so that the time selectors would position next to it. But it always sit below it. I'm not good in css positioning, so any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

<div class="wrapper ">
    <label for="responseRequiredDate">
        Response Required Date
        <span class="indicator">*</span>
    </label>
    <input type="hidden" name="responseRequiredDate" value="struct" /><div class="datetimepicker">
    <div class="datePicker"> 
    </div>        
    <script> ...</script>
    <div class="timepicker"><select ....
    </div> </div>

the date picker insert a script tag, would that cause a problem. probably not.

the computed css from firebug is given below. the only style currently different from inherited is display:inline .. I tried float, clear, margin etc without success. so removed them for clarity. please let me know if u need addition info.

Answer 1

You should display those div-boxes as inline elements:

.datePicker, .timepicker {
    display: inline;
}

Answer 2

Well, a div that's not floated will always push the next content below itself. You can try to set display:inline on the div, or make it into a span.
