Alright, i'm just learning CSS, and i'm making a website. So I ran into a problem. I'm trying to place my content bar to the right of the left nav bar, but it goes under it, then im gonna put a right nav bar. Here is the problem:

Heres the codes:

index.html

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Conquer Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>

<div id="container">

<div id="header"> </div>

<br />

<div id="leftbar"> </div>

<div id="content"> </div>

</div>

</body>
</html>

style.css

Code:

body {
background-color: #565656;
font-family: Arial;
}

#container { 
width: 600px;
padding: 1px;
margin: 43px auto 0;
}

#header {
width: 600;
height: 100;
background-image:url(images/header.jpg);
}

#leftbar {
width: 150;
height: 20;
background-image:url(images/bar.jpg);
}

#content {
width: 275;
height: 20;
background-image:url(images/content.jpg);
}

Add float: left to #leftbar and #content.

Hi there Decker,

here is your corrected code...

Code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="language" content="english"> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">

<title>corected code</title>

<style type="text/css">
body {
    background-color:#565656;
    font-family:arial,sans-serif;
    font-size:100%;
 }
#container { 
    width:600px;
    padding:1px;
    margin:43px auto 0;
 }
#header {
    height:100px;
    margin-bottom:19px;
    background-image:url(images/header.jpg);
 }
#leftbar {
    float:left;
    width:150px;
    height:20px;
    background-image:url(images/bar.jpg);
 }
#content {
    float:left;
    width:275px;
    height:20px;
    background-image:url(images/content.jpg);
 }
#rightbar {
    float:left;
    width:175px;
    height:20px;
    background-image:url(images/bar.jpg);
 }
</style>

</head>
<body>

<div id="container">

<div id="header"></div>

<div id="leftbar"></div>

<div id="content"></div>

<div id="rightbar"></div>

</div><!-- end #container -->

</body>
</html>

Notes:-

1. Always use a full DOCTYPE.

2. Always use a content-type meta tag.

3. Values in CSS must be always be specified except for zero;
