How to merge div cells

Question

I want to merge the div with text called XXXXXxxxXXXXwith div which you can see above. I dont see there is colspan property as table has. Also i need to add overflow to that row.

Here is my Fiddle

Has someone idea how to fix this?

Expected output should be something like below . Also column with text "XXXX" should have overflow

What is the motivation behind trying to construct a table using divs, why not simply use a table? — enhzflep, Apr 23 '16 at 09:39
As it all depends on how the rest of the table will look like, can you give a hint and I will suggest a proper solution. — Asons, Apr 23 '16 at 09:45

Something like this?

.dtable { 
    display:table;
    table-layout: fixed;
    width:529px;    
}

.drow { 
    display:table-row; 
    width:525px;    
}

.dcell {
    display:table-cell; 
    border:1px solid gray;
}


#D_Cell_1 {
    width:100px;
}

#Description {
    width:100px;
    height:58px;
}

#Des_Content{
    overflow-y: scroll;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    position: absolute;
    height:58px;
    width:425px;
}

<div id='main_wrapper' class='dtable'>
    <div id='control_panel_wrapper' class='drow'>
        <div id='D_Cell_1' class='dcell'>Title</div>
        <div id='D_Cell_2' class='dcell'>Manager marketing</div>

    </div>
</div>
<div class='dtable'>
    <div id='bottom_wrapper' class='drow'>
        <div id='Description' class='dcell'>Description</div>
        <div id='Des_Content' class='dcell'>LOREM IPSUM

you have shifted text "manager marketing" it should align to second row with text "XXXXXXXXX" — James, Apr 23 '16 at 09:48
your updated code has still shifted text manager marketing to right. It should align left to text XXXXXXXXXXXX — James, Apr 23 '16 at 09:50
i dont see any duplicated id in your code. is it possible to left align text manager marketing to text xxxxx and provide overflow to text XXXXX ? — James, Apr 23 '16 at 09:55
@Happy refer to last update using _table-layout: fixed;_ and _overflow-x_ — Shady Alset, Apr 23 '16 at 10:18
sorry my bad.. i meant vertical scroll. I tried to change to Y but it gives horizontal scroll. I only want vertical scroll — James, Apr 23 '16 at 10:22

Add the next css

/*Row 1, Cell 2*/
.divTableRow:nth-child(1) .divTableCell:nth-child(2) {
  border-bottom-width : 0; /*Not border bottom*/
}

/*Row 2, Cell 2 */
.divTableRow:nth-child(2) .divTableCell:nth-child(2){
  border-top-width: 0; /*Not border top*/
}

Unfortunately, you can't use colspans and rowspans if you are creating tables using display:table.

Here is some more information

Alternatives -

1) Use HTML table instead(Recommended)

2) See how W3Schools have implemented it here
