CSS positioning divs next to each other - css

Question

I have got problem with positioning 2 divs inside a div. I want to have 2 divs next to each other but I dont know how. Here is my html
<div id="game">
<div id="choice" onmouseover="npcRoll()">
<p>Chosse your weapon!</p>
<button id="rock" onClick="choose(1)">Rock</button>
<button id="paper" onClick="choose(2)">Paper</button>
<button id="scissors" onClick="choose(3)">Scissors</button>
<p>You chose <span id="userChoice">none</span>!</p>
</div>
<div id="confirm">
</div>
</div>
And this is my CSS:
#choice {
border: 2px solid #87231C;
border-radius: 12px;
border-top-right-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;
background-color: #FF5A51;
width: 350px;
}
#game {
border: 2px solid #fff;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: white;
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#confirm {
border: 2px solid #00008B;
border-radius: 12px;
border-top-left-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;
background-color: #1E90FF;
width: 142px;
height: 100px;
}
body {
background-color: #DFEFF0;
text-align: center;
}
button {
font-size: 22px;
border: 2px solid #87231C;
border-radius: 100px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
color: #FF5A51;
text-shadow: -1px 0 black, 0 1px black, 1px 0 black, 0 -1px black;
padding-top: 36px;
}
button:active {
font-size: 22px;
border: 2px solid #328505;
color: #32A505;
border-radius: 100px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
padding-top: 36px;
}

Thank you for any help!
EDIT: I also tried to add float elements into to the CSS but it screwed it more. :/

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this. The most traditional being to use CSS' float property your two divs:
CSS
#choice {
border: 2px solid #87231C;
border-radius: 12px;
border-top-right-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;
background-color: #FF5A51;
width: 350px;
float:left;
}
#game {
border: 2px solid #fff;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: white;
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
/* this is needed to make sure your container background
"contains" your floated divs */
overflow:auto;
}
#confirm {
border: 2px solid #00008B;
border-radius: 12px;
border-top-left-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;
background-color: #1E90FF;
width: 142px;
height: 100px;
float:left
}

Answer 2

Use css floats to position divs next to each other, but do not forget to clear the floats after your done.
#game {
float:left;
}
#confirm {
float: right;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
and then the html would look like:
<div id="game">
<div id="choice" onmouseover="npcRoll()">
<p>Chosse your weapon!</p>
<button id="rock" onClick="choose(1)">Rock</button>
<button id="paper" onClick="choose(2)">Paper</button>
<button id="scissors" onClick="choose(3)">Scissors</button>
<p>You chose <span id="userChoice">none</span>!</p>
</div>
<div id="confirm">
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
