How to vertically align the elements in two divs?

Question

<div id="div1">

    <label class="someClass1">Price 1</label>
    <label class="someClass1">Price 2</label> 
    <label class="someClass1">Price 3</label> 
    <label class="someClass1">Price 4</label> 
</div>
<div id="div2">
    <input type="text" class="someClass2"/>
    <input type="text" class="someClass2"/>
    <input type="text" class="someClass2"/>
    <input type="text" class="someClass2"/>
</div>

I have two divs. One div contains <label> elements and another div contains <input> elements. The two divs are aligned horizontally. I need to align the labels and input elements vertically so that each label has it's input underneath.

I may achieve the above requirement by putting the <label> and <input> elements by placing them in <table> rows/columns. But I require them to use <div> .

Could someone help me out on this ?

Short answer , try this CSS

#div1 label.someClass1 { display: inline-block; margin: 0 5px; }
#div1 label.someClass1, #div2 input.someClass2 { width: 100px; }
#div2 input.someClass2 { margin: 0 0 0 10px; }

Long answer , to make the exact look you pictured in your question, use HTML5 placeholder attribute and CSS3 border-radius:

#div1 label {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin: 0 5px;
}
#div1 label, #div2 input {
  width: 100px;
}
#div2 input {
  border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  border-width: 1px;
  padding: 2px;
  margin: 0 0 0 10px; 
}

.

<div id="div1">
    <label>Price 1</label>
    <label>Price 2</label> 
    <label>Price 3</label> 
    <label>Price 4</label> 
</div>
<div id="div2">
    <input type="text" placeholder="Price"/>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Price"/>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Price"/>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Price"/>
</div>

To get the divs on same row with inputs below them, use below css

#div1 label { display: inline-block; }
#div1 label, #div2 input { width: 100px; }

Without css you can achieve it by using such an HTML structure -

    <div id="div1">
      <label class="someClass1">Price 1</label>
      <div><input type="text" class="someClass2"/></div>
    </div>
    <div id="div2">
      <label class="someClass1">Price 2</label> 
      <div><input type="text" class="someClass2"/></div>
    </div>
    <div id="div3">
      <label class="someClass1">Price 3</label>  
      <div><input type="text" class="someClass2"/></div>
    </div>
    <div id="div4">
      <label class="someClass1">Price 4</label> 
      <div><input type="text" class="someClass2"/></div>    
    </div>
