How do I fix the container div that ruined the layout?-CodePudding

After I was done working on side bar I wanted to head to the content page to the right so I added a container div that I wanted to set to flex So that I make the two boxes to start styling, but right after adding it, the footer's position is ruined and the side bar isn't taking as much space as it should.

Here's a picture:

.side-bar {
  font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
  font-size: large;
  font-weight: bold;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: left;
  background-color: rgb(235, 235, 235);
  width: 20%;
  height: 80%;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.side-bar ul {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin-left: 0%;
  list-style: none;
  margin-top: 5%;
}

.side-bar ul li {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  display: inline;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.togglable:hover {
  border-radius: 7px;
  background-color: rgb(216, 216, 216);
}

.togglable:active {
  background-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);
}

.side-bar ul a {
  color: black;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.side-bar h2 {
  font-family: 'Josefin Sans', sans-serif;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.container {
  display: flex;
}

.task-container {
  background-color: red;
}

Add width attribute to task-contianer and add your fotter class attribute on your CSS file.

.task-container {
    background-color: red;
    width: 100%;
    
}

.footer{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0px;
    width: auto;
}
