Cannot get rid of the margin on Div

I've been experimenting with getting text to display on the right side of my stylized list. Initially, I set fixed widths for both the ul and div elements, but encountered issues with margins that persisted even after setting them to 0px (I double-checked in Chrome's inspect element tool). If there's a better way to position the text next to the list without causing any additional problems, I'd appreciate some guidance. Additionally, I'm curious about why the margins are behaving unexpectedly.

<div class="bar">           
        <div class="nav">                
            <h1><a href="#" id="JETS">Lorem Ipsum<br>Lorem Ipsum</a></h1>
            <ul class="nav">
                <li class="active"><a href="#" id="ML1">Lorem</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="ML2">Lorem</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="ML3">Lorem</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="ML4">Lorem</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="ML5">Lorem</a></li>       
           </ul>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="Lmenu">
        <ul class="Lmenu">
            <ul id="Lmenu1">
                <li><a href="#" class="majorL">Lorem Ipsum</a></li>

Here's a snippet of my CSS styling (please excuse any lack of organization):

 // CSS rules go here...

Despite attempting to float elements as suggested by others, it ended up disrupting another section of my website that wasn't initially visible. Here are links to demonstrate:

Issue Present

Float Attempt

I'm seeking a solution that doesn't compromise other parts of the layout. Feel free to ask for any additional details if needed.

htmlcss

Answer №1

<div> functions as a block-level element, meaning it naturally takes up 100% width unless customized using float or another display property.

One solution is to include div.Lmenu {float:left;} in your styles. This will cause the menu to be floated to the left, allowing the <h2> to appear on its right-hand side.

Answer №2

Simply include the following CSS:

.sidebar {
    float: right;
}

Check out the live demo here!

Remember to clear the float by adding clear: both to the element after the header, or by wrapping both the list and header in a container with an overflow property other than visible.
