The green block is trapped in #content_l because you closed it too late. Change the bottom mark up to: </ul> </div><!--/add to close #content_l--> <div id="content_r"> <h1>First Paragraph</h1> <p>...</p> <p>...</p> </div> <!--</div> delete--> </div> </body> </html> Set this to float left: and it wil be at the top adjacent to #content_l #content_l {float:left;} #wrapper { overflow:hidden;/*add to open the wrapper and enclose both floats within it*/}
