I am trying to shift my style away from using tables to control formatting, but I haven't seen a simple css solution that does exactly the same thing as

<table><tr><td>aribitrary-html-A</td><td>aribitrary-html-A</td></tr><table>

All I want is to make sure aribitrary-html-A and aribitrary-html-B are aligned horizontally. I have tried various CSS concoctions using display: inline, clear: none, and float: left but they all have unwanted side-effects of moving my content around, while the table-tr solution just does what I want, regardless of what's in the arbitrary HTML, and regardless of what is in HTML that contains my table.

Am I missing something?
