Hello, Will you explain why the div "main" won't clear the sb divs float
right and sit on its left side. Thank you or any help you can provide.

Umm. The div#main *is* clearing the float, which is why it appears
underneath. If you delete the "clear:both;" declaration on it, I think
you'll get the effect you seek.
I suggest you take the width off the rule for #main as well. When you
add in the extra padding and margin, it would be too wide to fit, except
for the fact that the box (not the text) slides under the float.
Instead, you could let #main just take up remaining space. In order to
prevent the #main content from wrapping below the sidebar when text size
is increased, or more content is added, simply add any declaration that
creates a new block formatting context. Any one of these should do:
overflow: auto;
overflow: hidden;
display: table-cell;
The equivalent for IE 6 and 7 -
zoom: 1;
So now you have:
#main {
background-color: #FFC003;
margin-left: 1em;
padding: .5em;
overflow: auto;
*zoom: 1;
}
