Hi, I need to make a site with a layout that has 2 columns and a few rows. I have been trying for hours to get it to work but the right column divs won't align to the right of the left column divs. I would appreciate any advice.

A drawing of the layout of the site can be seen here:

Thanks in advance.

What does your HTML and CSS look like so far?

Try floating your left column, to the left (obviously).

Also, clear the floats all at once.
