I can't get my form dropdowns to line horizontally

I want the two last drop downs in my form to line up horizontally so they are smaller than the others above it but inline with each other however I can't get them to sit on the same line:

Here is an example:

Any idea what I can do I have made them inline blocks?

Thanks

Hmmm...I popped your code into www.codepen.io and they are inline there. Perhaps exploring some of bootstrap's classes would be helpful?

Yeah that might be worth a shot, it doesn't work in the browser either.

Add a width of 50% to each, removing the position and display.

.price-range-left {
    float: left;
    width: 50%
}

.price-range-right {
    float: right;
    width: 50%;
}

Or add a width of 50% and remove the float.

.price-range-left {
    width: 50%;
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;

}
.price-range-right {
    width: 50%;
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
}

Edit: Also remove any space in between the select elements if using the display / position method. A single space will mean the two will exceed the 100% together, and will drop the second select down.

I came up with a similar answer as Saulius. http://jsfiddle.net/LvhCh/34/ I noticed that .price-range-left should be .price-left and your .car-finder-container should be modified to contain the floats (i.e clearfix, overflow:hidden).
