Ok  Im assuming you want to put the  left inside the container so I suggest you edit your html  The key is the position absolute and right 0   right        background-color  red      height  300px      width  300px      z-index  999999      margin-top  0px      position  absolute      right 0      here is the full code  http   jsfiddle net T9FJL

You most probably don t need z-index to do that  You can use relative and absolute positioning  I advise you to take a better look at css positioning and the difference between relative and absolute positioning    I saw you re setting position  absolute  to an element and trying to float that element  It won t work friend  When you understand positioning in CSS it will make your work a lot easier     Edit  Just to be clear  positioning is not a replacement for them and I do use z-index  I just try to avoid using them  Using z-indexes everywhere seems easy and fun at first    until you have bugs related to them and find yourself having to revisit and manage z-indexes
