If you float that to the right your content will have to float to the left. Watch the width, margin, and padding settings you use because you may run into issues where one div ends up being underneath the other. This is because there was no more space available so it pushes one of the divs down. Again, make sure the total width takes into account the width, margin, and padding of the divs in question.

Another option is absolute positioning. This also "floats" a div but it acts a little differently. You'll have to add margin/padding to the content div to move it from appearing underneath your positioned div. When you absolutely position a div it actually pulls it out of the flow of the page. It's like the div is floating over the page and anything else after it will end up pushing right underneath it. So you'll have to push those things away by using margin/padding.
