I don't suppose a table is out of the question...  yeah, it forces a line 
break. you can set the width attribute on td cells and on the table.

try float:left on a div - it took the line breaks right out of my div
tags. 
see if it works cross-browser.  I got great results with
<div style="width:100px;background-color:Red;float:left;">text</div>
<div style="width:100px;background-color:Green;float:left;">test</div>
<div style="width:100px;background-color:Blue;float:left;">test</div>
