Hi All

Hopefully, without using tables, I want a div for a sidebar on the left and next to it a div for conent on the right. This is what I have in dreamweaver so far but it wont let me use the space to the right of the current div.

Thanks for your help

No worries, I got it!

Float: Left
 
What code did you come up with on that? Just getting a good start on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and wondering on you float left code. I have had issue with that, and would like to take a look at the code to see where I am going wrong LOLOL
 
Tables can also be used to accomplish that sort of page layout.

Hm, Kreij, do you have an example of that?

an example of a single row dual column table? effectively splitting a page into two? allowing you to put a menu on the left and content on the right?

what am i missing? that is the most basic of tables you can make.
 
I guess after reading his post, and your questions, that is pretty obvious right? LOLOL Jeez, I guess I was real tired when I read Kriej's post or something, LOL.
