HTML - Scary Div Behaviour!

Hi,

is it possible to add a number of tables (or td's or any rectangluar html container element) in the same vertical level but as long as there is room. But if there is no more room the new ones will be added in the next line

the behaviour i am need is the like the behaviour of the img element.

Am I clear enough?

Merci!

So I have a page that is split into 2 columns. The left column there are expandable forms that are quite long to ask the user optional product preferences. On the right side of the page there is a much shorter, 'contact details' form. The contact details form is mandatory.

The behaviour idea is that as the user scrolls down to complete the left column optional forms, the page will only scroll the left column - the contact details forms displayed in the right column stays in place to avoid a big gaping white space where the right column is empty. I'm having trouble implementing this and I haven't found a solution yet or any examples of pages with this split column behaviour online.

Any advice / suggestions / examples online? Thanks!

I am very new to CSS have only done basic html coding before. I have been messing with my ebay page and their code trying to get mine to look similar to theirs and learn a bit in the process. however I've run into a snag, Im trying to use a duel column format but the column on the right isn't maintaining its borders. its expanding off screen to fit the text rather than containing it and expanding downward. I also can't get the left column lvl with the right. I've messed with all the values I could find but have had no luck fixing the problem. I realize there is a tremendous about of extra code that I need to remove but If anyone could give me a hand I would very much appriceate it.

Many thanks in advance
