Have a look at the changes made below, they get you close to where you are going:

body {
   margin-top: 5px;
   padding: 0;
   font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;
   color: #000;
   background-color: #ddd;
}

#container {
   width: 700px;
   margin: auto;
   background-color: #FFF;
   background-image: url(images/menubkgd.jpg);
   background-repeat: repeat-y;
   border: 5px double #333;
}

#banner {
   background-color: #e0ffff;
float:right;
width:540px;
}

#banner h1 {
   margin: 0;
   padding: .5em;
}

#nav {
   float: left;
   width: 160px;
   margin-left: 10px;
   padding-top: 1em;
}

#nav p {
   margin-top: 0;
}

#content {
   padding-top: 1em;
   margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
float:right;
width:520px;
}

#footer {
   clear: both;
   background-color: #cfcfc2;
   padding: 1em;
   text-align: right;
}

Hi

I am having trouble putting a site together. I am trying to learn a new technique but I don't think I am fully understanding it!

I have a simple two-column site. Left, is the nav which I want to run the whole left hand side of the site and stop at the footer. The right hand side, I want to contain, the header, content 1 and content 2 and then stop at the footer. I have completed a draft at:

<http://www.lamaison.org.uk/index2.html> with the css at <http://www.lamaison.org.uk/pages.css>

I cannot seem to get the header to only extend to the left column and not spill into it! Any ideas please?

Thanks

Rich
