How can I get an aside and a section to sit side by side, aside on the left and section on the right?

I have a header followed by an aside on the left. I am trying to get a section to sit to the right of the aside. The section has a ul for portfolio pics. It works if I float the section to the right, but shouldn't I be floating it to the left?

Both actually works, If I understand what you ask.

Here is a link to a quick test I did http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Dkocj Set the section to right, and It will float as It should to the right.

Thanks, that is how I thought it should work. My section fills up the whole right side, so I guess float right or left doesnt matter. For smoe reason on my code, the float left drops it beneath

Maybe if you could share your code we could help you to see why it drops it beneath when using float left.
