DIV Box Will Not Align - css

Question

I've been going through documentation, tutorials and examples. But I can't seem to get these 4 boxes to align properly no matter what I do.
div#frontpage{width:100%; }
div#1{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;}
div#2{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;}
div#3{width:25%; float:right; position:relative;}
div#4{width:25%; float:right; position:relative;}
.clear{clear:both;}
<div id="frontpage">
<div id="1">
</div>
<div id"2">
</div>
<div id="3">
</div>
<div id="4">
</div>
<div class="clear">
</div>
</div>
This is what I came up so far and the closest result I want to achieve. Get them to all align horizontal straight across one row. The reason why I use % instead of px is because my wordpress theme is responsive.

Answer 1

Just tweaked it a bit and it works fine.
CSS
div#frontpage{width:100%; }
div.box{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;}
.clear{clear:both;}​
HTML
<div id="frontpage">
<div class="box">
a
</div>
<div class="box">
s
</div>
<div class="box">
d
</div>
<div class="box">
f
</div>
<div class="clear">
</div>
</div>​​​​​​​​​​​​​
As mentioned by Phil, Ids should not be numbers. Also, your <div id"2"> should have been <div id="2"> (missing '=' sign)

Answer 2

see this working example http://jsfiddle.net/QFMXx/
change Id's in your code. Id's shouldn't start with digits
<div id="frontpage">
<div id="d1">sfdfs
</div>
<div id="d2">dfsdf
</div>
<div id="d3">dsfsdf
</div>
<div id="d4">dfsfsd
</div>
<div class="clear">sdfsd
</div>
</div>
and css:
div#frontpage{width:100%; }
div#d1{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;}
div#d2{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;}
div#d3{width:25%; float:right; position:relative;}
div#d4{width:25%; float:right; position:relative;}
.clear{clear:both;}

I have modified your code little bit and got the result. Could you please try this?
<style>div#frontpage{width:100%; height:50%;border:1px solid red }
div.s1{width:25%; height:50%;float:left; position:relative;border:1px solid blue;clear:both}
.clear{clear:both;}
</style>
<div id="frontpage">
<div class="s1">
</div>
<div class="s1">
</div>
<div class="s1">
</div>
<div class="s1">
</div>
<div class="clear">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps.

Id must not start with a number. and maybe you can use the following style
<style>
div#frontpage{width:100%;background-color:#ccc; }
div#a1{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;background-color:red;margin-right:75%;}
div#a2{width:25%; float:left; position:relative;background-color:#ffccea;margin:0 50% 0 -75%}
div#a3{width:25%; float:right; position:relative;background-color:blue;margin:0 25% 0 -50%}
div#a4{width:25%; float:right; position:relative;background-color:yellow;margin:0 0 0 -25%}
.clear{clear:both;}
</style>
I used a margin to the right to push away all the elements and a negetive margin to the left to pull up my desired elements.

div#frontpage{width:100%; position:relative;}
div#a{width:25%; float:left; }
div#b{width:25%; float:left; }
div#c{width:25%; float:right;}
div#d{width:25%; float:right;}
.clear{clear:both;}
<div id="frontpage">
<div id="a"></div>
<div id"b"></div>
<div id="c"></div>
<div id="d"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
I am not sure,
