Is it possible to have 2 div beside eachother and one not wrap around?

Why is this a hack?

I listed 5 reasons.

3) The resulting boxes don't properly contain the content.

Would you expand on this a bit

Content wider than the box enlarges the box without adjusting the
adjacent box, it overflows or the content is hidden. All undesirable
behaviour for a layout grid.

(using the OP's site for specifics)?

[. . .] css contains a method to
do this that is as easy and more powerful than html tables, namely css
tables.

You are recommending using tables for layout?

Read again what I actually wrote (not the snippet you quoted), then
Google for "css tables".
