    copied!<p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/JLkMa/" rel="nofollow">Here is my layout</a>. I have a container 508px wide with divs inside. I want to align left column (odd divs) to the left, and right column to the right. I tried <code>nth-child(even)</code> - but it doesn't adjust the right margin. One- Why doesn't it work? Two - is there a more elegant solution to this?</p> <p><strong>CSS</strong></p> <pre><code>.clearfix:before, .clearfix:after { content: "\0020"; display: block; height: 0; overflow: hidden; } .clearfix:after { clear: both; } .clearfix { zoom: 1; } #products {width:508px;background-color:#FFC;} #products &gt; div { float:left; margin: 0 30px 30px 0; text-align: center; } #products &gt; div:nth-child(even) {margin: 0 0 30px 0;background-color:#CCC;} #products a {font-weight:normal;} #products img { width:224px; height:120px; } </code></pre> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="products" class="clearfix"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="" alt=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Product 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="" alt=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Product 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="" alt=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Product 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="" alt=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Product 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="" alt=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Product 5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>
