I need to place element C below element A and to the right of element B. 
  i.e. header, sidebar, and content. The other constraint is that in the 
HTML source element C (the sidebar) must come *after* the content in 
accordance with web accessibility guidelines and compatibility with 
older browsers. Therefore floats don't solve the problem because a 
floated element only floats next to an element that follows it, not one 
that precedes it.
