display div elements in parent with overflow hidden

I have a div with class container. I have 3 more divs inside .container. What I want is to display internal divs float: left so that 2 divs tags are visible inside .container and the third one is invisible and is placed on the right side of first 2 div tags which are visible. I am trying the following code but it makes all tags visible all the time.

jsfiddle

<div class="container">
        <div class="div"></div>
        <div class="div"></div>
        <div class="div"></div>
    </div>

css

.container {
            position: relative;
            width: 405px;
            height: 500px;
            background: red;
            margin: 0 auto;
            overflow: hidden;
        }
        .div {
            width: 200px;
            height: 200px;
            background: blue;
            float: left;
            border: 1px solid red;
        }

I want above to look like this

You can do as such in other way,

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="innerContainer">
        <div class="div"></div>
        <div class="div"></div>
        <div class="div"></div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

.container {
    position: relative;
    width: 405px;
    height: 500px;
    background: red;
    margin: 0 auto;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.innerContainer {
    position: relative;
    width: 605px;
    height: 500px;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.div {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background: blue;
    float: left;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

Use:

display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;

For that effect

Use display:inline-block instead of float and set white-space:nowrap to the container:

.container {
    position: relative;
    width: 405px;
    height: 500px;
    background: red;
    margin: 0 auto;
    overflow: hidden;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
.div {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background: blue;
    display: inline-block;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

Demo fiddle

Now you'll most likely face some white-space issues, read this answer for multiple ways to handle that
