### Flex table

Flex table is a module for creating dynamically resizable elements that always sit on the same horizontal line (e.g., they never break to a new line). Using table styles in our CSS means it's cross browser friendly back to at least IE9.

Additional `margin` or `padding` may be required to properly space content.

```html
<div class="flex-table">
  <div class="flex-table-item flex-table-item-primary">
    <input class="input-block form-control" type="text" placeholder="Long flexible input form">
  </div>
  <div class="flex-table-item">
    <button class="btn" type="button">Button</button>
  </div>
</div>
```
