CSS: Table-less columns and wrapping
I just need my page to display a text header, then list one block at a time. Each block will consist of two columns. One column will display data titles, the other will display the data.

I thought I could accomplish this with CSS by nesting DIV tags, but it's not working the way I imagine it would.

Here's my PHP code followed by the pertinent CSS:

PHP Code:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

        echo "<div id=block>";

            echo "<div id=column>";

                echo "Time: <br>Date: <br> Location: ";

            echo "</div>";

            echo "<div id=column>";

                echo $row['time'] . "<br>";
                echo $row['date'] . "<br>";
                echo $row['location'];

            echo "</div>";

        echo "</div>";

    } 


CSS:

PHP Code:
#column {
    float: left;
    line-height: 25px;
    margin: 3px;
    }

#block {
        border:1px solid #999;
    margin:5px;
        top:20px;
        padding: 10px;
    } 


This is definitely a problem with me not knowing CSS well enough.

Hm. Threw a width: 100% into the block div... and that seems to do what I want it to.

Still an ugly hack?

Well, for starters you need to change the id's to classes as you can not have more than one element with the same id.

If you want #block to contain .column, you need to float it as well.
Code:
#block
  {
  float: left;
  top: 20px;
  border: 1px solid #999;
  margin: 5px;
  padding: 10px;
  }
.column /* column ids to classes in PHP */
  {
  clear: left;
  float: left;
  line-height: 25px;
  margin: 3px;
  }
