So I\'ve been trying to align two divs side by side without overlapping. I have one div which will be fixed as a sidebar and the right div as the content. Hopefully, someone
This answer may have to be modified depending on what you were trying to achieve with position: fixed;
. If all you want is two columns side by side then do the following:
http://jsfiddle.net/8weSA/1/
I floated both columns to the left.
Note: I added min-height
to each column for illustrative purposes and I simplified your CSS.
body {
background-color: #444;
margin: 0;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1005px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#leftcolumn,
#rightcolumn {
border: 1px solid white;
float: left;
min-height: 450px;
color: white;
}
#leftcolumn {
width: 250px;
background-color: #111;
}
#rightcolumn {
width: 750px;
background-color: #777;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftcolumn">
Left
</div>
<div id="rightcolumn">
Right
</div>
</div>
If you would like the left column to stay in place as you scroll do the following:

Here we float the right column to the right while adding position: relative;
to #wrapper
and position: fixed;
to #leftcolumn
.
Note: I again used min-height
for illustrative purposes and can be removed for your needs.
body {
background-color: #444;
margin: 0;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1005px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
#leftcolumn,
#rightcolumn {
border: 1px solid white;
min-height: 750px;
color: white;
}
#leftcolumn {
width: 250px;
background-color: #111;
min-height: 100px;
position: fixed;
}
#rightcolumn {
width: 750px;
background-color: #777;
float: right;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftcolumn">
Left
</div>
<div id="rightcolumn">
Right
</div>
</div>
Your code is correct. Kindly mark small correction.
#rightcolumn {
width: 750px;
background-color: #777;
display: block;
**float: left;(wrong)**
**float: right; (corrected)**
border: 1px solid white;
}
Try this:
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="float left">left</div>
<div class="float right">right</div>
</div>
#wrapper {
width:500px;
height:300px;
position:relative;
}
.float {
background-color:black;
height:300px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
color:white;
}
.left {
background-color:blue;
position:fixed;
width:400px;
}
.right {
float:right;
width:100px;
}

I did this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>AutoDealer</title>
<style>
.container{
width: 860px;
height: 1074px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.nav{
}
.wrapper{
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid green;
}
.otherWrapper{
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid green;
float:left;
}
.left{
width: 399px;
float: left;
background-color: pink;
}
.bottom{
clear: both;
width: 399px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.right{
height:350px;
width: 449px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: blue;
overflow: hidden;
float:right;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="nav"></div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="otherWrapper">
<div class="left">

<div class="right">

</body>
So basically I just made another div to wrap the pink and yellow, and I make that div have a float:left on it. The blue div has a float:right on it.
