How to make main and aside side by side?

March 18, 2022

How to make my main class be on a side of the aside class? Because the result is my main class is on the below of the aside class and I do not know how to figure it out

This is code:

aside {
  height: 100vh;
  width: 350px;
  justify-content: space-between;
  flex-direction: column;
}

aside ul {
  padding-top: 30%;
  list-style-type: none;
  text-align: center;
}

aside a {
  text-decoration: none;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 23px;
  color: $color5;
  margin: 40px;
  font-family: $font1;
  font-weight: lighter;
}

aside a:hover {
  color: $color1;
}

<aside>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#PersonalInformation">Personal Information</a></li>
    <li class="second"><a href="#SecurityandLogin">Security and Login</a></li>
    <li><a href="Logout">Logout</a></li>
  </ul>

</aside>
<main>
  <h4>To keep you safe and secure</h4>
</main>

>Solution :

In such senarios, you would wanna use flexbox or css grid, like so:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 350px 1fr;
  gap: 1rem;
}
aside {
  min-height: 100vh;
  justify-content: space-between;
  flex-direction: column;
  border-right: 1px solid red;
}

aside ul {
  padding-top: 30%;
  list-style-type: none;
  text-align: center;
}
aside a {
  text-decoration: none;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 23px;
  color: $color5;
  margin: 40px;
  font-family: $font1;
  font-weight: lighter;
}

aside a:hover {
  color: $color1;
}

<div class="container">
  <aside>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#PersonalInformation">Personal Information</a></li>
      <li class="second"><a href="#SecurityandLogin">Security and Login</a></li>
      <li><a href="Logout">Logout</a></li>
    </ul>

  </aside>
  <main>
    <h4>To keep you safe and secure</h4>
  </main>
</div>
