As Darren Kynaston stated, we need to see your code in order to see what's going on. If you've never posted code to the forums before, here are a couple pictures that illustrate how to post code, just remember to put blank lines above and below any code blocks you write:

I don't get the two columns. The two sections are still one after the other. I don't know if the browser has something to do. I'm working on explorer because, i have a corporate laptop and i can't install crome.
Please let me know if this is sufficient information, to understand what is wrong.
Thanks, Claudia
