Trying to achieve this css layout

I am trying to achieve this layout:

Can someone tell me the best way to do it?

The text on the blue box reads “outer parent div.” (it’s hard to read.)

Of course I can use more divs (or other hooks) if needed, the image is meant to illustrate the layout I want, not the code I use.

Here’s my attempt, without any of my css attempts:

<div id="parent">

<div id="left_side">
  <div id="div1"></div>
  <div id="div2"></div>
</div>

<div id="right_side">
  <p id="vertically-centered-text">vertically centered text</p>
</div>

</div>

Hi there ShinVe,

here is one possible solution…

[code]

untitled document body { background-color:#f0f0f0; } #parent { display:table; width:90%; margin:auto; border:1px solid #999; border-spacing:10px; background-color:#ccc; box-shadow:5px 5px 5px #999; color:#666; } #left_side,#right_side { display:table-cell; width:50%; } #right_side { padding:4% 0 4% 4%; border:1px solid #999; vertical-align:middle; background-color:#fff; box-shadow:inset 0 0 20px #999; } #right_side p { max-height:310px; margin:0 4% 0 0; overflow:auto; } #div1,#div2 { height:150px; padding:4%; border:1px solid #999; background-color:#fff; box-shadow:inset 0 0 20px #999; } #div1 { margin-bottom:10px; }
