White space above second inline-block div

I'm sure I've overlooked something here but cannot work it out. There's white space above my second inline-block div, and this only occurs when the 'text here' length in the right div is less than that in the left.

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/B2S4r/2/ (You'll need to make the HTML view wider to see them along side each other)

<div style="border-top: 1px dashed black; display: inline-block; width: 250px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0;">

    <div style="height: 50px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; text-align:right; font-size: 11px;">
        <div style="display: block; width: 80px; height: 50px; float: left; background-color: #cdcdcd; background-position: left center;">
        </div>

        <span class="main_header" style="font-size: 21px; margin: 0;">Title</span>
        <br />
        Subtitle

    </div>

    <div style="display:block; background-color: #efefef; height: 75px; padding: 5px; font-size: 12px;">
    Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here 
    </div>
</div>

<div style="border-top: 1px dashed black; display: inline-block; width: 250px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0;">

    <div style="height: 50px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; text-align:right; font-size: 11px;">
        <div style="display: block; width: 80px; height: 50px; float: left; background-color: #cdcdcd; background-position: left center;">
        </div>

        <span class="main_header" style="font-size: 21px; margin: 0;">Title</span>
        <br />
        Subtitle

    </div>

    <div style="display:block; background-color: #efefef; height: 75px; padding: 5px; font-size: 12px;">
    Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text 
    </div>
</div>​

This appears to be a better, cleaner solution: (Example)

<div class="box">
    <hgroup>
        <h2>Title</h2>
        <h3>Subtitle</h3>
    </hgroup>
    <p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum tortor
        quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante. Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper.
        Aenean.</p>
</div>

<style type="text/css">
    .box {
        border-top:    1px dashed black;
        display:       inline-block;
        width:         250px;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        margin-right:  10px;
        margin-top:    0;
    }

    .box hgroup {
        height:         50px;
        padding-top:    2px;
        padding-bottom: 2px;
        text-align:     right;
        font-size:      11px;
        border-left:    100px rgb(205, 205, 205) solid;
    }

    .box h2 {
        font-size:   21px;
        margin:      0;
        font-weight: normal;
    }

    .box h3 {
        font-weight: normal;
    }

    .box p {
        background-color: #efefef;
        height:           75px;
        padding:          5px;
        font-size:        12px;
    }
</style>

If you add float:left to both divs, your problem will be resolved.

HTML:

<div class="article">
    <div class="header">
        <div class="grayBox"></div>

        <span class="main_header">Title</span><br />
        Subtitle
    </div>

    <div class="content">
        Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here 
    </div>
</div>

<div class="article">
    <div class="header">
        <div class="grayBox"></div>

        <span class="main_header">Title</span><br />
        Subtitle
    </div>

    <div class="content">
        Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text 
    </div>
</div>​

<div class="clear"></div>

CSS:

.article {
    border-top: 1px dashed black; 
    display: inline-block; 
    width: 250px; 
    margin-bottom: 10px; 
    margin-right: 10px; 
    margin-top: 0;
    float:left;        
}

.header {
    height: 50px; 
    padding-top: 2px; 
    padding-bottom: 2px; 
    text-align:right; 
    font-size: 11px;    
}

.main_header {
    font-size: 21px; 
    margin: 0;   
}

.grayBox {
    display: block; 
    width: 80px; 
    height: 50px; 
    float: left; 
    background-color: #cdcdcd; 
    background-position: left center;    
}

.content {
    display:block; 
    background-color: #efefef; 
    height: 75px; 
    padding: 5px; 
    font-size: 12px;
}​

.clear {
    clear:both;
}​

I tried pasting html for 1st block in next one and it worked w/o problem.

<div style=" border-top: 1px dashed black; display: inline-block; width: 250px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0;">

    <div style="height: 50px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; text-align:right; font-size: 11px;">
        <div style="display: block; width: 80px; height: 50px; float: left; background-color: #cdcdcd; background-position: left center;">
        </div>

        <span class="main_header" style="font-size: 21px; margin: 0;">Title</span>
        <br />
        Subtitle

    </div>

    <div style="display:block; background-color: #efefef; height: 75px; padding: 5px; font-size: 12px;">
    Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here
    </div>
</div>

<div style=" border-top: 1px dashed black; display: inline-block; width: 250px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0;">

    <div style="height: 50px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; text-align:right; font-size: 11px;">
        <div style="display: block; width: 80px; height: 50px; float: left; background-color: #cdcdcd; background-position: left center;">
        </div>

        <span class="main_header" style="font-size: 21px; margin: 0;">Title</span>
        <br />
        Subtitle

    </div>

    <div style="display:block; background-color: #efefef; height: 75px; padding: 5px; font-size: 12px;">
    Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here Text here
    </div>
</div>

a quick solution is adding a float:left to both divs...

<div style=" border-top: 1px dashed black; display: inline-block; width: 250px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0; float: left;">
...
</div>

(and please use css ;) )

Default value of vertical-align is baseline and when applied to blocks of different heights, it's often unwanted.

Applying a value of top will solve your problem. Here's a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/PhilippeVay/B2S4r/3/ (as there's no stylesheet in your fiddle but only inline CSS, I won't even try to find how to aim for the one on the right)
