Rearranging Layout (Simple for you Experts)

I been looking at this for a while now and still can't figure it out.  How do I have the form on the left side and the contentbox on the right side?  I don't want a break between the form and contentbox because I want the site to look more cleaner.  If you guys want, I can create a visualization for you guys.

 

This is my site:  www.PFCPicks.com

 

Here's the code:

 

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#contentbox {
  background: #E5E5E5;
  border:dotted;
  border-color:#000000;
  padding: 5px;
  width: 400px;
  height: 125px;
  overflow: auto; }
ul#shoutboxmessage { 
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  color: #000000;
  font: normal 10px verdana,tahoma,arial; }
.style2 {font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; }
-->
</style> 
  <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
  <input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>" />
    <strong>
    Pool Name:</strong><br/>
    <input type="text" name="name" maxlength="20"><br/>
    <strong>Message:</strong><br/>
    <textarea name="message"></textarea><br/>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Shout It!">
  </form>
<?php

  require_once("config.php"); 
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];
  $ip = $_POST['ip'];
  $mlen = strlen($message);
  $maxlength = 200;
  $date = date("M jS Y");

  if ($_POST['submit'])  {
    if ($name == "") { 
      echo "<strong>Error: Please enter your nickname.</strong>"; 
    }
    else if ($message == "") { 
      echo "<strong>Error: No message to be sent.</strong>"; 
    }
    else if ($mlen > $maxlength) { 
      echo "<strong>Error: Message too long.</strong>"; 
    }
    else {
      $db = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass); 
      mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
      mysql_query("INSERT INTO shoutbox(name,message,date,ip) VALUES('$name','$message','$date','$ip')"); 
    }
  }

  $db = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
  mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
  $query = "SELECT * FROM shoutbox ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20"; 
  $result = mysql_query($query);

  echo "<div id=\"contentbox\">\n";
  echo "<ul id=\"shoutboxmessage\">\n";
  while($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $name = $r['name'];
    $name = strip_tags($name);
    $message = $r['message'];
    $message = strip_tags($message);
    echo "<li><strong>>$name</strong>: $message</li>\n";
  }
  echo "</ul>\n";
  echo "</div>\n";

  mysql_close($db);

?>

</div>
