Hi, I have the following html code:

<div class="a">
    <div class="b">
        <a href="#">text</a>
    </div>
    <div class="c">
        text
    </div>
</div>


div.a
{
    margin-top: 10px;
    clear: left;
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
}

div.b
{
    padding: 27px 10px 7px 10px;
    background-color: #fff;
    overflow: hidden;
    float: left;
}

div.c
{
    float: left;
}

What styles should I set for div.c to make it be beside the div.b and fit the remaining width?

It's for a tempalte that will fit 100% of the screen.

thanks!

When the contents of "b" are longer than one line, "c" gets pushed on to the next line by itself, and the two no longer appear side-by-side.

The original post specified that the whole thing was exactly 100% width.
