I suspected that might be the reason.

Exactly.

Why not?
Obviously not all aspects of this method are the same as using tables,
but it works, and achieves the automatic column widths just as easily.
e.g.:
div
{
float: left;
background-color: gray;
line-height: 2em;
padding: 0.2em;
}
....
<div>
<label>Name:</label>
<br>
<label>Age:</label>
</div>
<div>
<input size="12">
<br>
<input size="8">
</div>
