I am having problems aligning my div's I want one on the rightside of another...heres the CSS code..

.news {
    margin-top:30px;
    width:500px;
    background-color:#86a8b8;
    text-align:left;
    padding-left:5px;
    padding-top:2px;
    padding-bottom:2px;
    font-size:16px;
    font-family:arial;
    color:#000000;
}
.advert {
    margin-top:30px;
    width:200px;
    background-color:#86a8b8;
    text-align:left;
    padding-left:5px;
    padding-top:2px;
    padding-bottom:2px;
    font-size:16px;
    font-family:arial;
    color:#000000;
}

...This is annoying me lol! I can't figure this thing out, and it's also always on bottom or top depending where the div is in the code :P

Maybe try adding:

float: left;

to both the news & advert? I think that'd work, though I don't know if it's 'proper'.

Ok, lets see ALL of the code, including the HTML please.
