Kara,
Block elements (like div) always expand to the full width by default.
By the sounds of it you're after an inline element, so either:
A) use a span instead
or
B) set display:inline; on the DIV
You might find it helpful to read up on the difference between block and
inline elements.
Hi Kara,
Check out tip 1 in the sitepoint Top Ten CSS Tricks article:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/top-ten-css-tricks
As mentioned, block level elements default to 100% width unless
specified, so one (of many) ways to change this, would be to specify
display: inline;.
Cheers,
Daniel
You're a legend - thanks :)

Hi Kara,
Unlike a td, a div will expand to fill the available space (and not the
content it contains), if a width is not specified.
To achieve the layout you describe, you will need to:
-set widths on the divs, and/or
-set left or right margins to accommodate both divs, for example if div [A]
