    1) Your html has a bug- you’ve given a/ instead of /a:

    <li><a href="#"><a/>Home</li>

    2) float to the rescue: give this property in:

    <p style="float: left">This is a website.</p>

    and add float: right to #sidbar

    3) What is border: thin in #sidebar? Give border: 1px solid. Read this for allowed attributes and their values: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

    UPDATE

    Check here: http://jsfiddle.net/FPJTn/1/
    The sidebar was breaking to the next line because of the value given for width for content. I have changed in #content css from width: 800px to width: auto.
