   Hey all, my sidebar which I've placed in a div is not moving to it's correct position but instead is lining up under the main content.

   here's the code:
   

   </div> <--! content end -->
   </div> <--! column-left end -->
   
   <div id="column-right">
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   Column-right is what I want to put the sidebar into, so that's why I've open the "column-right" div before the "get sidebar php" (however the same problem occurs when it's inside the sidebar php but I'll get to that later) The "Column-right" div is closed inside the sidebar php.

   So here's my question can you open div tags outside let's say the sidebar but have it close inside it?

   <!-- Get Side bar starts -->
                       <em> <div id="column-right"></em>
   
                                 <div id="colours">

                                 <?php 	/* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
   					if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
   
                                  <h3><strong>Search</strong> all posts</h3>
                                  <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
                                  <div>
                                    <label class="hidden" for="s">
                                    <?php _e('Search for:'); ?>
                                    </label>
                                    <input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s2" id="s2" />
   	                             <input type="submit" class="button" value=">" />
                                  </div>
                                  </form>
   
                                  <div class="hr"></div>
   
                                  <h3><strong>Featured</strong> posts</h3>
   
                        <em></div></em>
    <!-- Get sidebar ends -->

   here's the sidebar code with the "column-right" div inside it but the same thing happens.

   Also here's the stylesheet for Column right

   div#container div#column-right{
     float:right;
     width:230px;
     display:inline;
     margin:300px -2px 0 0;

   I have an open div in the header (column-Left) and closes in the main index php which could be the the cause but I'm not sure.
