Is that possible to display divs next to each other without floating?

I want to put several divs next to each other in one row. All divs have the same height.

Here is how this can be done using float: left.

Depends, on what you want to do. You can use display: inline-block;

You could use display:inline-block. But unfortunately some browsers (some IE versions) don't support it.

a display: block element is (effectively) going to have a line break at the end. One option that will let you keep block element styles, while putting it in the pageflow is set display: inline-block (of course, with some additional work to get ie behaving)

Another option is to nest them, set them all to position: relative, and use the left rule to align them.

#together {
    position: absolute;
    display: inline-block;
	margin;left:10px;
	background-color:lightblue;
	width:500px;
	border:4px double blue;
}

<div id="together" style="left:10px">first div</div>
<div id="together" style="left:520px">second div</div>
<div id="together" style="left:1030px">third div</div>
<div id="together" style="left:1540px">fourth div</div>
<div id="together" style="left:2050px">fifth div</div>
<div id="together" style="left:2560px">sixth div</div>
<div id="together" style="left:3070px">seventh div</div>

Here you are, with seven divs in a row

If you have the possibility to change the divs to span elements, that would fix the problem without using CSS

 <span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span>
