Here is what I did.
Since the right side is tabular data, I suppose it would be acceptable to use tables instead of divs.
Code:
<div style="float:left;margin-right:10px">Label</div>
<table style="border:1px solid #000000">
<tr>
<td> data 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> data 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
thanks again for your help,
