Help Me!

I'm making my new site but I can't get the nav on the left and the content in the centre without it going down one line. Here's the code i'm using:

<div class="nav"><div align="left">
Links here
</div></div>
<center>
<div class="content"><div align="center">
Put content

</CENTER>
</HTML>

I can do everything required (I think) except that.

float: left;

Thanks :)

One more thing : i need to float it so its not out at the edge of the page but near the content box. Any ideas?

I'm guessing by your description that you mean.

HTML Code:

padding-left: 5px;

Or perhaps:

HTML Code:

margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
