You need to do three things:

  • firstly, your markup is incorrect, take the container_24 div the main content sits in and make it grid_17 so it doesn't take up the entire width of the container div.
  • The sidebar needs to go in the container div along with the content, else it will be pushed downwards by the container div
  • Because of the above issues, you've introduced numerous negative and left-hand margins. If you remove these margins and do the above, you should have a vast improvement.

remember where grid systems are concerned you have a container div, which contains all the columns, and the columns all add up to the full width of that container.

  • You need to clear your floats. Instead of <div class="grid_6><div id="sidebar">, try <div id="sidebar" class="grid_6">, if not add clearing elements/classes

  • You've added <div style="height:700px;"></div> to your page, this is incorrect, add <div style="clear:both;"></div> instead, and your issues should all be fixed
