You add the background colour left and right white (#ffffff) so you can't able to see the difference,please add the different color for both left and right,and also add
body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

if you give the child div float property parent div should have

.main

{
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
}
here

main

is parent div so i use that one.
don't add

overflow-y:scroll;

for div add

overflow-y:auto;

if you want scroller you should give max-height in pixel or less then 100% if more conetent appear more then your mentioned height scroller will appear automatically.
