CSS: Div incorrectly positioned

Question

I have uploaded a part of my screen below

It is part of a forum, so there are elements above and below it. The "Response Req.. Date" has a label, a date picker, and two drop down select control for time. I tried setting the width of the datepicker element, and a right margin so that the time selectors would position next to it. But it always sit below it.

<div class="wrapper ">
    <label for="responseRequiredDate">
        Response Required Date
        <span class="indicator">*</span>
    </label>
    <input type="hidden" name="responseRequiredDate" value="struct" /><div class="datetimepicker">
    <div class="datePicker"> 
    </div>        
    <script> ...</script>
    <div class="timepicker"><select ....
    </div> </div>

the date picker insert a script tag, would that cause a problem. probably not.

the computed css from firebug is given below. the only style currently different from inherited is display:inline .. I tried float, clear, margin etc without success. so removed them for clarity.

Answer 1

display: inline; Should fix your problem.

Answer 2

Well, a div that's not floated will always push the next content below itself. You can try to set display:inline on the div, or make it into a span.

Answer 3

You should display those div-boxes as inline elements:

.datePicker, .timepicker {
    display: inline;
}
