How to use divs instead of tables

Question

I am trying to create the following table layout, but I want to use DIV instead of TABLE:

------------------
|       |        |
| CELL1 |  CELL2 |
|       |        |
|       |--------|
|       |        |
|       |  CELL3 |
|       |        |
------------------

I want the height of all the cells to be set by their content (i.e. no height: style)

I have tried using float:left on cell1, but can't seem to get cells 2 and 3 to behave.

EDIT JS Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/utZR3/

HTML:

<div class="list-row">
    <div class="list-left">CELL1
    </div>
    <div class="list-right">
        <div class="list-title">CELL2</div>
        <div class="list-filters">CELL3

        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="list-row">
    <div class="list-left">CELL1
    </div>
    <div class="list-right">
        <div class="list-title">CELL2</div>
        <div class="list-filters">CELL3

        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="list-row">
    <div class="list-left">CELL1
    </div>
    <div class="list-right">
        <div class="list-title">CELL2</div>
        <div class="list-filters">CELL3

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

.list-row {
    background:#f4f4f4;
    border:2px solid red;
}

.list-left {
    width:auto;
    padding:10px;
    top:0px;
    left:0px;
    border: 2px solid blue;
}
.list-right {
    top:0px;
    left:60px;
    padding:10px;
     border:2px solid green;
}
.list-title {

    font-size:18px;
    padding:8px;

}
.list-filters {
    padding:8px;

}

You need inline-block and float: here's the jsFiddle

.list-row {
    background:#f4f4f4;
    display:inline-block;
    border:2px solid red;}

.list-left {
    width:auto;
    padding:10px;
    float:left;
    border: 2px solid blue;}

.list-right {
    padding:10px;
    float:right;
    border:2px solid green;}

Also, since you're not using relative or absolute positioning, you don't need to specify top and left.
