I know this issue has been tackled before on SO, and I've read alot of the solutions, but for some reason I just can't get this to work right. I've got a container div that I want to split into two sections, side by side. I've got the code distilled down to the bare minimum below (The actual structure is way more complicated than this). If I can get the two interior divs, with red and blue background, to show up side by side I can take it the rest of the way. Theoretically they should expand to fill up the white area inside the containing div at about a 30/70 ratio, but I'm just getting stuck on floating them side by side. If there is an exact answer to my question that I just missed somehow, an internal SO link will be fine.
