Yes, this seems sound advice.
A further thing, perhaps someone can talk about the best and
simplest technique they personally favour to get the two divs to
line up height-wise, (align at top being easy of course).
Personally I have given up bothering to design with such a
requirement, it seeming to be rather bothersome. But it can come
in handy when insistently asked to keep a tables layout effect
for some established page - minus the tables! I would not boast
any devices I use, but am all ears on good suggestions and
perhaps others would like to know this too...
