hey guys,
i can't seem to get it working.
i have a div.post with #comments and a #respond form underneath it. the div.post contains the #comments and the #respond form. i simply want to float the sidebar to the right of the entire div.post and i cannot seem to get it work.
here is an example. any idea how to solve that - its probably quite simple. :)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>layout</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#main {
width:100%;
background:#cfcfcf;
}
.inner {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 96px 72px 0;
width: 1068px;
border-color: #000;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 1px;
color: #3C3C3C;
}
.post {
width: 705px;
background:#999;
}
#comments, #respond {
width: 705px;
background:#999;
}
#sidebar {
width:338px;
background:#777;
margin-left:730px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<div class="inner">

edit: can you see any errors in my html. firebug says that the sidebar div is actually outside the .inner div. however if i look at the code it's inside.
