Forcing ads to stay to the side of text, and not make a huge space

I'm having trouble making my skyscraper type ads stay to the side.

My ads are with bidvertiser, and tey use javascript to call thier ads. What I want to do is this:

Title
LinksLinks
__
Ś Ś List:
Ś Ś Item
Ś Ś Item
Ś Ś Item
ŚAŚ Item
Ś Ś Item
Ś Ś Item
Ś Ś More Content
Ś Ś
Ś_Ś

Basicly, I want to keep my ad to the side without creating a big gaping hole in the text (which in this case will be a list, which might yield different results, I honestly dont know).

So, what I'm trying to keep it from doing this

List:
Item
Item
___
Ś Ś
Ś Ś
Ś Ś
Ś_Ś
Item
Item
More Content

Heres a little about what the ad code looks like.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://I REMOVED THE SOURCE" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com">advertising</a></noscript>

Hello Vistro, and welcome to the forums.

You might put the ads in a container div that uses a style="float:left;" rule.

I'm kindof new to HTML, so can you please explain what a div is? How do I insert a rule?

tedster's suggestion would look like this;

<div style="width:60px; float:left;">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://I REMOVED THE SOURCE" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com">advertising</a></noscript>
</div>

So what you really would want to do is


<div style="width:100%"> 
 Title 
 LinksLinks 
</div> <div style="width:20%; float:left"> 
__ 
Ś Ś 
Ś Ś 
Ś Ś 
Ś Ś 
ŚAŚ 
Ś Ś 
Ś Ś 
Ś Ś 
Ś Ś 
Ś_Ś 
</div> 
<div style="width:80%; float:left"> 
List: 
Item 
Item 
Item 
Item 
Item 
Item 
More Content 
<div>
