Other more experienced may help better then me. Still. I would play with floats.
1) Add overflow:hidden; to your #container 2) Add float: left; to both: vmenu and content; 3) Add overflow:hidden; to your #content 4) Group on a div, your h3 and img inside #content; 5) Float left your blue div; 6) Float left your red div; 7) Give your #footer the following: clear: both; (or left); >From here, validate your markup and css, and if in doubt, post back. k. regards, mem On Sep 27, 2012, at 16:24 , Del Wegener wrote: > Good Morning; > A colored illustration of my problem is at > http://www.alliedcorrosion.com/products/aaaaaa_testing.php > My question also appears in the green box in that illustration. > > I have a pretty standard vertical menu (orange) on the left with content > (gray) on the right.
