How to align a span and a div on the same line

Question

I have the following HTML:

<div class="mega_parent">
<div class="parent">
<div class="holder">
    <span class="holder_under">Left heading</span>
    <div class="holder_options">
        <span class="holder_options_1">Option 1</span> 
        <span class="holder_options_2">Option 2</span> 
        <span class="holder_options_3">Option 3</span>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

and the following CSS:

.holder {
    background-color: blue;
    padding: 10px;
}
.holder_under {
    padding-left: 10px;
    font-size: 16px;
    color: #999;
}
.parent {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 20px;
    width: 600px;
}
 .mega_parent {
background-color: blue;
    margin: 130px auto;
    min-height: 320px;
    height: 100% auto;
    overflow: auto;
    width: 940px;
    padding: 0px 10px;
}

Question:

How do I make the div with the class holder_options align in the same line as the span with the class .holder_under?

Here's what it looks like currently in jsFiddle.

Answer 1

Div's are by default block level elements. Please read up more about block level elements here.

"Block level elements - Their most significant characteristic is that they typically are formatted with a line break before and after the element (thereby creating a stand-alone block of content)."

Set it to display:inline-block;

.holder_options {
  display:inline-block;
}
