float:left changes width of div - 10/24/2008 5:10:12
Hello everyone!
I've gotten myself stuck, and I was hoping somebody here could help me.
I have a page who's 'main' section of the body is divided into 2 parts, the content on the left, and a side bar on the right (common layout). However, I cannot get the sidebar to sit next to the content unless the side bar comes before the content in the HTML; which I would like to avoid for accessibility reasons. The only other option I am aware of is to have the content section floated as well. I have tried this, but when I add float:left to the style sheet the div floats, but the width of the div also changes.
I only have access to FF at the moment, so I don't know how it is behaving in other browsers.
Also, using FireBug, I have cut out all of the extra rules from parent tags, and it doesn't have any effect on the problem.
So there is my problem, and my question is:
Is there a way to counter this, without setting a specific width for the div's?
heres a link if you need it (it's no where near finished):

Thank you,
I thought it defaulted to 100% of it's parent, and based on that I was trying to use margins to set make space for them to sit side by side.
