| Hm ... I'm not sure how to explain this, but I don't think you've "defined" it to be put next to the main div. So the sidebar div turn up under the main div, like things usually do when you don't "tell" them to do something else. The "float" thing doesn't do that, it only put the "box" of text to the left. |

You could put this in your css (under the #main/sidebar):
position:absolute;
left:000px;
and put a value in where it says 000. But you should do that for each div then. Like both for the main div and for the sidebar div. That will make the divs static. They will remain at so or so many pixels from left no matter what screen resolution you have. That could of course be a bad thing if you want the layout to be centered in all resolutions. I don't know how to do it in any other ways. Or another way of doing it is using tables, but I believe tables are no-no these days.
I'm sorry, I'm probably not helping much, but it's been years since I was "into" web designing, so I'm a bit rusty. :P |

Yeah, Lillemor, i dont want to use absolute because it won't actually centre properly otherwise.. I don't know why what i have isn't working, because my current layout is almost entirely the same, and it's working fine.

| You could try reading this tutorial: http://www.tutorialtastic.co.uk/page/three_column_css_tableless_layout it's for 3 columns but I'm sure you can fiddle to make it 2. Div layouts are such a pain in the ass. |

| Aha, yeah, remember to minus values if you use paddings and margins. :) |
