Forbid divs to wrap around other divs?

Question

Is there a way to forbid div wrap other div here http://jsfiddle.net/MaL5k/1/ ? But without repeating size of left div like done here http://jsfiddle.net/MaL5k/2/

It's seems obvios there should be an option to forbid div content wrap other div content and just act as it a square block.

You may remove it if you want to, I doubt anybody has invested much effort into this question yet. Your solution is sound. — thirtydot, Sep 09 '11 at 14:30
@grisevg: Then wait two days, heh. I've done the same a couple times. — Purag, Sep 09 '11 at 14:35
I am interested in why that solution works. I wouldn't have guessed that `overflow:hidden` would help align text... — mwcz, Sep 09 '11 at 14:36

Already found a solution: using overflow:hidden; http://jsfiddle.net/MaL5k/7/

EDIT: Doesn't work in IE6... but who cares about it anymore (=
