Hi,
Can you try using "Apply Source Formatting" and see if this fixes the issue your are facing? If not then please share your code and the CSS files your are using to format the layout.

Hi,
I have tried to place the elements as you suggested and the final layout looks like below. I would suggest using tables to place elements on the page, that gives you more control on positioning them as you like.
And the code for this is-
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Preventive Law Reporter</title>
<link href="new.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body class="column">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<centre>
<p id="pagetitle">Preventive Law Reporter</p>
</centre>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tbody><tr>
<td ><img src="images/scales-preventive.gif" alt="Scales of Justice"> </td>
<td><img src="images/scales-preventive.gif" alt="Scales of Justice">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<!-- end #header --></div>
<div id="sidebar1">
<table width="200" border="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor= "#8999bb">
<tbody><tr height="35px">
<td height="35px"><a href="#" target="_self"> Login</a></td>
</tr>
<tr height="35px">

</tr>
<tr height="35px">

<tr height="35px">

<div id="mainContent">
<table border="0" width="680px" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">

<td valign="top"><br>
<span class="content">Main content

<!-- end #mainContent -->

<!-- This clearing element should immediately follow the #mainContent div in order to force the #container div to contain all child floats --><br class="clearfloat">

<!-- end #container --></div>
