In-line tables with CSS - html

Question

I am having a major problem trying to create in-line tables with divs instead of tables and CSS. My issue is that I have 3 types of rows that aren't really in sync, so expectedly, do not line up. I am wondering if there is a solution or a better approach.
As you'll see in the fiddle, I am trying to get the header, row, and child row to line up. All columns and headers have the same width %, but their overall widths will be different. Also, the child row should be indented to appear under the parent.

HTML
<div id = "wrapper">
<div id = "headers">
<div class = "col header_name">Name</div>
<div class = "col header_id">ID</div>
<div class = "col header_country">Country</div>
</div>
<div id = "table">
<div class = "row" data-id = "1">
<div class = "col button">+</div>
<div class = "col name">Bob Dolle</div>
<div class = "col id">1234</div>
<div class = "col country">America</div>
</div>
<div class = "row_child" data-parent = "1">
<div class = "col name">Joe Dolle</div>
<div class = "col id">67788</div>
<div class = "col country">America</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#headers{
background-color:#ccc;
}
.row{
background-color:#ddd;
}
.row_child{
background-color:#AAA8A8;
margin-left:40px;
}
.col{
display:inline-block;
}
#table{
padding:5px;
}
.header_name, .name{
width:30%
}
.header_id, .id{
width:10%;
}
.header_country, .country{
width:25%;
}
.button{
padding:0 10px;
}

Answer 1

well, despite the "use tables" argument (I can see why you want to use DIVS), what you want to do is incredibly easy with CSS, but you're using a really convoluted logic. You can use a columns approach instead of rows, or using your rows approach, just give each columns the same width and include the .button class in the same div as the name , then simply add some table logic to your divs
#table, #headers {
display:table;
width:100%;
}
.row {
display:table-row;
width:100%;
}
.col {
display:table-cell;
width:30%;
}
#headers {
background-color:#ccc;
}
.row {
background-color:#ddd;
}
.row_child {
background-color:#AAA8A8;
margin-left:40px;
}
.header_id, .id {
width:10%;
}
.header_country, .country {
width:25%;
}
.button {
padding:0 10px;
float:left;
}
.row_child .name {
padding-left:50px;
}

Modern browsers will allow you to use new CSS Table Layouts, for example:
