Division tag acting weired

Question

I have made three boxes on my screen with the help of division tags with width 19%, 38%, 40% all of them add up to 97%. I want all of them to be side by side so I used display: inline-block and all of them act perfectly as I wish to like here: Edit fiddle - JSFiddle[^]

But the moment I add something in these division tags the boc moves down for no reason.

If I add something in right box : Edit fiddle - JSFiddle[^]

This happens the moment I add something do these boxes.

What I have tried:

<div class="wrapper-details-page">
    <div class="wrapper-details-page-left">  </div>
    <div class="wrapper-details-page-middle">  </div>
    <div class="wrapper-details-page-right">  </div>
</div>

CSS

.wrapper-details-page-left {
  border: 1px solid black;
  min-height: 600px;
  width: 19%;
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 0 0 0 0;
  padding: 0 0 0 0;
}

*{
  background-color: skyblue;
}

.wrapper-details-page-middle {
  border: 1px solid black;
  min-height: 600px;
  width: 38%;
  margin: 0 0 0 0;
  padding: 0 0 0 0;
  display: inline-block;
  background-color: pink;
}

.wrapper-details-page-right {
  border: 1px solid black;
  min-height: 600px;
  width: 40%;
  margin: 0 0 0 0;
  padding: 0 0 0 0;
  display: inline-block;
}

Add vertical-align:top to your inline-block elements.

CSS

html,
body {
    background-color: skyblue;
}

.wrapper-details-page > div {
    border: 1px solid black;
    min-height: 600px;
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: top;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

.wrapper-details-page-left {
    width: 19%;
}

.wrapper-details-page-middle {
    width: 38%;
    background-color: pink;
}

.wrapper-details-page-right {
    width: 40%;
}

Updated demo[^]

For modern browsers, you might want to consider using Flexbox for the layout:

CSS

@supports (display:flex){
    .wrapper-details-page {
        display: flex;
    }
    .wrapper-details-page > div:last-child {
        flex-grow: 1;
    }
}
