I know this issue has been answered over and over again, but I can’t find something that works for me. I think it has something to do with a lack of display: attribute in content or sidebar but I’m not sure what. Please take a look at my code and see if you can spot my error.

I apologize for asking this question, that I’m sure has some obvious answer but I havent been able to spot it.

Thanks in advance

Andy

    Use this CSS

      #content
  {
    float: left;
    width:480px;
    margin-right:20px;
  }
  #sidebar
  {
    float: left;
    width:260px;
  }

    Both elements should float left and the first one will have a margin right.
