You need to float both columns. 

/* for example */
.column 1 {
  width: 45%;
  float: left;
}

.column 2 {
  width: 45%;
  float: right;
}

Something along those lines. I'm not sure what the code is, cause you didn't post any.

Yeah a rule of thumb for me is: if you have objects inside a div and one will float left, the other one should pretty much be floating right. It helps prevent some weird issues where the second object would fall outside its parent element. If more than 2 elements, all the left floating elements should clear left and right floating elements should clear right. It would sound similar to one of those old facebook timeline layouts.
