I attempted to follow a tutorial for creating a 2 column layout from this person:
Here is the result of my implementation: / http://jsfiddle.net/WrpA8/
The CSS:
#container {
width: 800px;
margin: 40px auto;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#header {
border: 1px solid black;
}
#sidebar {
float: left;
width: 200px;
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#content {
float: left;
width: 600px;
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#footer {
clear: both;
border: 1px solid black;
}
