If im floating divs for a layout and then try and position a specific div and not float it, is there anything wrong with that? Alternatively if i have the following: How can i float a div next to the Header Image like in bold, ive tried but it gets forced underneath so that it sits under the header image and above the menu. Wrapper:980px Header image:780px wide Div next to header: 200px Menu: 780px wide Container: 540px wide Lsidebar: 240px wide Rsidebar: 200px wide Also is there anything wrong with using a div to act as a spacer between two other divs? in the case of 2 sidebars side by side, to create a little space between them.
