How to make the DIV equivalent of colspan?

Question

Question by Nick Rosencrantz

I want to implement this view
enter image description here

But I have one question: The text which says “Munstycke…” should not have the linebreak this far to the left, it should be like in the specification:
enter image description here

My code that achieves the view first mentioned is:

you can solve it with floating elements like this:

<div style="float:left;width:200px">
    <span>Name</span>
</div>
<div style="float:left">
   <ul style="clear:both">
     <li style="list-style:none">
      <p style="float:left;width:200px;">c o Andersson</p>
      <p style="float:left;width:200px;"> Telefon </p>
      <p style="float:left;width:200px;"> 123456 </p>
     </li>
     <li style="clear:both; list-style:none">
       <p style="float:left;width:200px;">Angeredsgatan</p>
       <p style="float:left;width:200px;">Fax</p>
       <p style="float:left;width:200px;">7551444</p>
     </li>
  </ul>


</div>
    <div style="clear:both;float:left;width:200px">
        <span>name</span>
    </div>
    <div  style="float:left;">
     <span>Munstycke och oftast ett mycket längre krångligt begrepp i en lång lång texststträng längre krångligt begrepp i en lång lång textsträng längre krängligt begrepp i en lång lång textsträng längre krånglig textsträng
      </span>
    </div>

colspan is a table feature. It is not available for divs or any other element except table.

Avoid yourself the trouble for looking for one. Becaue, even if you found one, it will be very buggy and simply not worthy to be called a solution.
