The two divs actually sit nicely side by side with one floated left and one floated right: <div style=”width:65%; float:left; padding-left:30px; padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:10px;”><img src=”http://www.goldenbrewski.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/brickranch00.jpg”> </div> <div id=”image_flicker” style=”width22%; float:right; padding-top:20px; padding-right:20px;”></div>
