I'm adding padding around some text into two div columns (content,
sidebar). Sidebar column moves under the Content column.

I'm still learning (though I think I'd like to think of myself
somewhere between a beginner and intermediate).

Right now, I'm using the blueprint framework for the layout. I have
the content column at 15 and the side bar column at 8. Whenever I try
to add padding on the right side of each DIV, it causes the side bar
to move under the content.

The only fix I could find was to set the width of the sidebar column
and make it float to the right.

I thought the purpose of Blueprint was so that I didn't have to set
anything for the columns, just add the column class to each div that
needs it?

Hi Justin. Did you do Computer Science at Canterbury University back
in 2005-2007?

The reason why your sidebar goes under the content is that your page
isn't wide enough.

Try adding another column, decreasing column width or increasing the
width of the page.

Cheers Dave
