Answer 1

Float the #list and #similar the right and add clear: right; to #similar

Like so:

#map { float:left; width:700px; height:500px; }
#list { float:right; width:200px; background:#eee; list-style:none; padding:0; }
#similar { float:right; width:200px; background:#000; clear:right; } 


<div id="map"></div>        
<ul id="list"></ul>
<div id="similar">this text should be below, not next to ul.</div>

You might need a wrapper(div) around all of them though that's the same width of the left and right element.

Answer 2

use clear:left; or clear:both in your css.

#map { float:left; width:700px; height:500px; }
 #list { float:left; width:200px; background:#eee; list-style:none; padding:0; }
 #similar { float:left; width:200px; background:#000; clear:both; } 


<div id="map"></div>        
<ul id="list"></ul>
<div id ="similar">
 this text should be below, not next to ul.
</div>

Answer 3

I think what you want requires an extra wrapper div.

#map {
    float: left; 
    width: 700px; 
    height: 500px;
}
#wrapper {
    float: left;
    width: 200px;
}
#list {
    background: #eee;
    list-style: none; 
    padding: 0; 
}
#similar {
    background: #000; 
}

<div id="map">Lorem Ipsum</div>        
<div id="wrapper">
  <ul id="list"><li>Dolor</li><li>Sit</li><li>Amet</li></ul>
  <div id ="similar">
    this text should be below, not next to ul.
  </div>
</div>

Answer 4

#map {
  float: right;
  width: 700px;
  height: 500px;
}
#list {
  float:left;
  width:200px;
  background: #eee;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}
#similar {
  float: left;
  clear: left;
  width: 200px;
  background: #000;
}

Answer 5

what u can also do i place an extra "dummy" div before your last div.

Make it 1 px heigh and the width as much needed to cover the container div/body

This will make the last div appear under it, starting from the left.

Answer 6

#similar { 
float:left; 
width:200px; 
background:#000; 
clear:both;
}
