I replaced the float:left style on my #sidebar with display:inline-block; width:20% (also placed display:inline-block; width:80% on #content) and was wondering why the content was falling below the sidebar. I just needed to remove the newline between my divs! Thanks for helping me out with that. Aggghhh – “the space between the elements” – That’s it!

I just needed to remove the newline between my divs!

Thanks for helping me out with that.

They're probably worth adding to the article. I know the one with the tags was that you can't put a block element like a div inside it. I actually think for a complicated enough form, it's probably a good idea to just use tables. I don't really think that DLs are more semantic and there comes a point with divs where you're actually using more markup than you would with tables. What do you think?
