What options are available in Webflow for placing two div boxes next to each other, with one being a Flexbox Div and the other potentially being one? Is there a way to achieve this without coding by creating a parent flexbox to hold both divs vertically?

To place two div boxes side by side in Webflow, especially when one is a Flexbox Div and the other may or may not be, you can achieve this without coding using layout settings in the Webflow Designer.

1. Use a Parent Flex Container with Horizontal Direction

• Create a Parent Div (Container) and name it something like Wrapper.
• In the Style panel, set the Display to Flex.
• Set the Direction to Horizontal (Row). This arranges its child elements side by side.
• Now add two child Div Blocks inside this parent (Div A and Div B), which will sit next to each other horizontally.

2. Make One or Both Child Divs Flex Containers

• Select either Div A or Div B (or both).
• In each selected div's Style panel, set Display to Flex if you want them to control their own internal layout (e.g., align items or distribute internal content).
• The internal use of Flexbox in the child divs does not interfere with the parent Flexbox’s horizontal layout.

3. Adjust Widths Appropriately

• You can control the visual size of Div A and Div B using:
• Fixed width (e.g., 300px)
• Percentage width (e.g., 50% each)
• Flex grow/shrink values by selecting "Grow if possible" in the Flex Child settings for more flexible layouts

4. Optional Styling Enhancements

• Apply Margins or Padding to space the divs as needed.
• Set Align Items or Justify Content in the parent flex container to further control vertical or horizontal alignment.

Summary

To place two divs side-by-side in Webflow—where one is a Flexbox—you simply wrap them in a parent Flexbox container set to horizontal. This is fully achievable with Webflow’s visual tools and does not require any coding. Each child div can also be a Flexbox container itself, independently controlling its inner layout.
