Position elements under each other

Question

I have two elements I want to put next to each other, and three elements I want to put below the first two, like this:

Element 1 Element 2

Element 3 Element 4 Element 5

These are text elements actually, and no matter how long the text might be, I want them to still stay in that position. How do I do this without using &nbsp ?

Answer 1

Use <div> tags to create two different containers.

<div>
  Element 1 Element 2
</div>

<div>
  Element 3 Element 4 Element 5
</div>

Answer 2

If it's a text use <br> for this. Write like this:

Element 1 Element 2 <br>Element 3 Element 4 Element 5

& if it's HTML elements. Write like this:

HTML

<div>element1</div>
<div>element2</div>
<div class="ele3">element3</div>
<div>element4</div>
<div>element4</div>

CSS

div{
  float:left;
  margin-right:5px;
}
.ele3{
  clear:both;
}
