I'm trying to put div elements right next to each other. The problem is, even if there is enough room for the two elements to be on the same line, the new div moves itself to the next line, I need the other div only to go to the next line if there isn't enough room.
Does anybody know how to do this?

For the purpose of styling, elements are divided into two categories: block-level elements and inline elements. In summary, a <span> element is used as an inline element and a <div> element as a block level element.
Users can see that all div elements inside the parent div are displaying inline. Approach 2: In this approach, we will apply display: inline-block property to all the div which we need to display inline. The display:inline-block property will set the all div elements side by side.
Inline elements are those which only occupy the space bounded by the tags defining the element, instead of breaking the flow of the content. Note: An inline element does not start on a new line and only takes up as much width as necessary.
Inline-block elements are similar to inline elements, except they can have padding and margins added on all four sides. You'll have to declare display: inline-block in your CSS code. One common use for using inline-block is for creating navigation links horizontally, as shown below.
Set the CSS display style to display:inline-block;.
This allows the element to keep it's block-like functionality, while also allowing it to be displayed inline. It's a half-way house between the two.
(But note that there are some compatibility issues with older versions of IE)

Divs are block level elements, so by default they will always occupy an entire line. The way to change this is to float the divs:
<div style="float: left"></div>
