How to display div inline?

Rails
1

Ok, I have some div element, which should be displayed inline after AJAX
call and should replace other element.
Without display:inline it works, new element is on new line, and looks
like
it supposed to be.
But when I add display:inline to styling, Ajax call just hides element
but
renders nothing.
If I add display:inline-block than all element change their size with
each
new, which I completely don’t like.
Any ideas how to fix that?

First I have to ask, If you want inline content why are you using a div
and not a span? A span displays content “inline” that’s its purpose for
existence. Using the CSS display:inline on a div causes the div to
behave just like span anyway.

Without display:inline it works, new element is on new line, and looks
like
it supposed to be.

This statement contradicts your fist statement, where you said the div
“should be displayed inline.” If the div is on a “new line” as you say,
then it is NOT displayed inline.

Here is a line with a [div] displayed inline.

Here is a line with a
[div]
displayed as a block. (Block is the default for a

tag.)

Here is the sensible way to display inline content on a
line.

But when I add display:inline to styling, Ajax call just hides element
but
renders nothing.

I have no idea how to help you with this without knowing what your AJAX
is actually doing.

If I add display:inline-block than all element change their size with
each
new, which I completely don’t like.

display: inline-block; Makes the div (or other element) behave just like
a block, using the CSS box model, but rather than displaying the div on
its own line, it instead displays inline without the apparent line
feeds.

See the accepted answer on this Stack Overflow question, which explains
why span is the generally preferred way to display inline content:

css - SPAN vs DIV (inline-block) - Stack Overflow.

Unique id’s are in the standard:

and than every new element has needed lenght
