Question

I am trying to left align a div within a div that has been center aligned with margin: 0px auto; but i just can’t seem to get it working, i know this is a simple issue but i just can’t seem to get it to work…

any help would be brill !

PS – i have attached an image of the problem, just can see the left col is float-left but now the background (seen on the right) is creeping up…

#wrap {
width: 940px; 
height: auto;
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: left;
background-color: #c3c1c1;
}

nav {
width: 220px;
height: auto;
float: left;
}

Answer 1

float:left should do the trick

EDIT: You can put all your text in another div that is float:left make sure to set the width properly though
