This answer may have to be modified depending on what you were trying to achieve with position: fixed;
. If all you want is two columns side by side then do the following:
I floated both columns to the left.
Note: I added min-height
to each column for illustrative purposes and I simplified your CSS.
body {
background-color: #444;
margin: 0;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1005px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#leftcolumn,
#rightcolumn {
border: 1px solid white;
float: left;
min-height: 450px;
color: white;
}
#leftcolumn {
width: 250px;
background-color: #111;
}
#rightcolumn {
width: 750px;
background-color: #777;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftcolumn">
Left
</div>
<div id="rightcolumn">
Right
</div>
</div>
If you would like the left column to stay in place as you scroll do the following:
Here we float the right column to the right while adding position: relative;
to #wrapper
and position: fixed;
to #leftcolumn
.
Note: I again used min-height
for illustrative purposes and can be removed for your needs.
body {
background-color: #444;
margin: 0;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1005px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
#leftcolumn,
#rightcolumn {
border: 1px solid white;
min-height: 750px;
color: white;
}
#leftcolumn {
width: 250px;
background-color: #111;
min-height: 100px;
position: fixed;
}
#rightcolumn {
width: 750px;
background-color: #777;
float: right;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftcolumn">
Left
</div>
<div id="rightcolumn">
Right
</div>
</div>
