Complex site design using only divs

Hello,

I am working on a new design for our site. I would like to use only <div>s
AND use the float attribute (no absolute or relative positioning).

Do you know any sites which have a grid layout (e.g. similar to
http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Business/) and use 'floating' <div>s only?

It seems hard to obtain a grid layout with 'floating' <div>s because one
<div> 'does not know' how high/wide its neighbours are. I don't want to use
scripting.

Many thanks for your help!

Cath
