I thought very long about it, but I just don't understand why the right sidebar (beginning with "Primary Links") slips below the first one (which means it has not enough horizantal space I think). Can somebody explain me?
Thank you!

PS:
Is it ok to work the header after the body?
Im just experimenting with theming, this is no theme which is meant to be released!

I'm not good in CSS, so I might be completely wrong.

But: your #page is 1200px, so that's all you the width you have. You then give the sidebars 180px each, plus 10px (total) padding, makes 190px each. Your #main is 800px + 10px (total padding) + 20px (2 borders left and right), i.e. 830px in total. That sums up to 1210px, so it wraps around.

You could reduce the width of your #main, or reconsider its border settings...

Oh my god... I was just wrong with 380 + 830... thought it would be 1110... sometimes, problems are such simple to solve! Thank you very much!
