Divs problem, can't use float, or can I?

[smeshy123]

I'm trying to sit two divs next to each other, but I can't float one because then my background in my main div will not move down with the content...I think this is better shown:


<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div id="logo_float">
<?php
if ($logo) {
print '<img src="'. check_url($logo) . '" alt="'. $site_title .'" id="logo" />';
}
?>
</div>
<?php print $top_bar_links; ?>
</div>
<div id="body">
<div class="top_left_round"><div class="top_right_round"></div></div>
<div id="main">
<div id="left">
<?php if ($tabs) { print $tabs; } ?>
<?php if (isset($tabs2)): print $tabs2; endif; ?>

<?php if ($help): print $help; endif; ?>
<?php if ($messages): print $messages; endif; ?>
<?php print $content; ?>
</div>
<div id="right">afasfsd
</div>
</div>
<div class="bottom_left_round"><div class="bottom_right_round"></div></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>


and the css:


#body {
background: #fff;
width: 1000px;
position: relative;
}

#body .top_left_round {
background: transparent url(images/bodytopleft.png) no-repeat;
position: relative;
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
}

#body .top_left_round .top_right_round {
background: transparent url(images/bodytopright.png) no-repeat;
position: relative;
left: 992px;
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
}

#body .bottom_left_round {
background: transparent url(images/bodybottomleft.png) no-repeat;
position: relative;
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
}

#body .bottom_left_round .bottom_right_round {
background: transparent url(images/bodybottomright.png) no-repeat;
position: relative;
left: 992px;
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
}

#body #main {
position: relative;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
height: 100%;
}

#body #main #left {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 600px;
}

#body #main #right {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}


Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to set the two divs next to each other.

Thanks,

No, actually, it is better shown as a link to a site on the web.

You have no Doctype there, and are missing the Head tags, and body tags, too, etc., etc.

What's all that php do? Anything in it we might want to know about?

Floats are used all the time to position div's. And clearing them is required.
