Aligning Divs

[audiopro]

I have 2 inline divs within a container div.
There is more content in one of the inner divs than the other so are different heights. I would expect the tops to line up but bottoms are aligned. What parameter in the container could set this behaviour?
I am sure that it wouldn't do this if I really wanted it to.

That's the default behavior.

How are you making the divs inline?

Thanks, I thought the tops always lined up - I'm still learning.

I have display:inline; set in the style sheet.
So how do I line up the tops?

I think I misunderstood (and misspoke). The divs are side-by-side, but aligned at the bottom?

display: inline in and of itself will not place the divs side by side (at least not in my tests in IE6). What else are you doing to position them?

The two divs are side by side within a container 675px wide.
I have an 'a' and an 'a:hover' assignment in the stylesheet which sets font properties only.

.articlesmen{
	width:300px;
	font-size:14px;
	font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
	text-decoration: none;
	padding:15px;
	margin:5px;
	font-weight:normal;
	font-style:normal;
	text-align: left;
	display:inline;
	color: #000000;
	border-width: 2px;
	border-style: solid;
	border-color: #999999;
	background-image: url("images/canvas.jpg");
}

I'm not sure why you would want to set the div display styles as inline. Since these divs have contents inside, they really should be block level. What I think you need to do is float the divs, or at least one of them. If you did that, they would align at the top.
