Question

I been trying every way possible to try and float the sidebar to the left and have it fit beside the content div, but it seems IMPOSSIBLE for me. Please help.

HTML:

  <div class="index-page">    

      <img src="images/hosting-header.png" width="458" height="179" alt="Hosting Header">
        <h1> Welcome to Elektrik Host! </h1>
        <p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis 
        egestas. Vestibulum tortor quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante.
        Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper. Aenean ultricies mi vitae est. Mauris
        placerat eleifend leo.</p>
        <h1> A little about us </h1>
        <p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis 
        egestas. Vestibulum tortor quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante.
        Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper. Aenean ultricies mi vitae est. Mauris
        placerat eleifend leo.</p>
    </div><!-- //index-page -->
    <div class="sidebar">

      <img src="images/sidebar-stickers.png" width="150" height="634" alt="Sidebar Stickers">

    </div><!-- //.sidebar -->

CSS:

.index-page { color: #000; width: 462px; }
.sidebar { float: right; width: 200px; }

clearfix :

    .clearfix:after {
   content: ".";
   visibility: hidden;
   display: block;
   height: 0;
   clear: both;
}

Answer 1

1. .sidebar { float: left; width: 200px; } not right
2. To make them beside:
      – index-page also need floatleft too index-page{ float: left;} (FF need, IE not)
   
     – move sidebar to before of index-page
