I just made my website header and now I'm trying to build the side bar, however instead of sticking to the left, it's being pushed to the right and I don't know why... but I guess it's because of the float elements that I added in the header? I've tried setting the margins to 0, floating it to the left, and nothing works.

Here's the HTML:

 <div id="box">
      <div id="header">
        <i
          ><img
            class="oldenhook_icon"
            src="icons/icon2.png"
            alt="The Oldenhook Icon"
        /></i>
        <div>
          <h1 class="header_h1">[&nbsp;oldenhook&nbsp;]</h1>
          <ul class="flexbox">
            <a href="#" class="list-item">home</a>
            <a href="#" class="list-item">search</a>
            <a href="#" class="list-item">global</a>
            <a href="#" class="list-item">social net</a>
            <a href="#" class="list-item">invite</a>
            <a href="#" class="list-item">faq</a>
            <a href="#" class="list-item">logout</a>
          </ul>
        </div>
        <div id="searchbox">
            
           <label for="email">Email:</label>
           <input name="email" id="email" type="text">
           <p>oifjqoifjq</p>
           <p>ofijqofiqjf</p>
      </div>
    </div>

Here's the CSS stylesheet:

  font-size: 62.5%;

}

.oldenhook_icon {
  height: 90px;
  width: 90px;

}

.flexbox {
  display: flex;

Your code is fine just remove float: right; from class flexbox in css

I think you can add position: absolute; to class .flexbox{}
