Tips for repositioning my sidebar using CSS and HTML

I'm a beginner in CSS and HTML and I'm struggling to make my sidebar move to the side on my website. I have divided my site into three div areas: one for the 'sidebar', one for the 'main content', and one for both called 'content'.

Here is my CSS code...

#content{ 
padding:10px; 
background-color: #eee; 
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
width: 900px ;
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;
margin-top: 150px;
}


#mainContent{
float: left;
display: block; 
width: 230 px; 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0 15px; 
background:#9c9;
}

#sidebar{
float: right;
display: block;  
margin: 0; 
padding: 0 10px;
width: 250px; 
border-left: 2px solid black;
}

Unfortunately, this setup isn't giving me the desired outcome. The page currently looks like this:

What I actually want is for the sidebar (currently located underneath) to be displayed alongside the green area.

Answer №1

We've identified an issue with the #mainContent class that contains a space. Let's clean it up:

#mainContent{
float: left;
display: block; 
width: 230px; 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0 15px; 
background:#9c9;
}

CSS guidelines recommend avoiding spaces between numerical values and units for better compatibility.
