Put 2 svg side by side

I am able to use 2 svg on one screen in d3.js. The Code looks like this and it works great:

<svg width="880" height="800" id="svg1"></svg>  
<svg width="880" height="800" id="svg2"></svg>

var svg1 = d3.select("#svg1");

var svg2 = d3.select("#svg2");

My only problem is, that svg2 appears under svg1. But my goal is to put them side by side. Do you guys know how to solve that problem? I tried to manipulate the x position of svg2 with this code:

<svg cx="880" cy"100" width="880" height="800" id="svg2"></svg>

but this was not the right solution. Thanks guys!!

In HTML, the svg> element has the display inline by default, meaning that you don't need to do anything to show them side by side.

This is a small demo to proof it:

var svg = d3.select("body")
  .selectAll("feynman")
  .data([0,1])
  .enter()
  .append("svg")
  .attr("width", 100)
  .attr("height", 100)
  .style("background-color", function(d){ 
    return d? "blue" : "orange";
  });
<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>

The issue in you case is the width: as each SVG has 880px wide, you'll need a window with at least 1780px to see them side by side.

An alternative is putting both SVGs in a <div> with a width greater than 1760px (as LeBeau explains in his answer here), which will create a scroll bar at the bottom:

<div style="width:1770px">
  <svg width="880" height="160" id="svg1" style="background-color:blue"></svg>
  <svg width="880" height="160" id="svg2" style="background-color:orange">></svg>
</div>

You can also play with overflow and overflow-x.
