[SalesForce] VisualForce page doesn’t show up as an option after I create new button

I have created a Custom Object(Employee__c) and I have created a VisualForce Page for that custom object and now I like to add a custom button to open any other custom visual force page.

Setup>> Create>>Objects>>Employee>>Custom buttons & links.

Action Type: custom Visualforce

Visualforce Page: I do not see my custom visualforce page here

here is my visualforce page:

<apex:page controller="employee_vfp_Controller" showheader="true" sidebar="true">
   <apex:form >

   //....more code

   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

You need to add standard controller as well.

The custom object's Standard Controller must be set to make that page visible in Button, Links or Action.

Page looks like:

<apex:page standardcontroller="Employee__c" extensions="employee_vfp_Controller" showheader="true" sidebar="true">
   <apex:form >

   //....more code

   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Buttons are tied to objects; you will have to add a new custom button for each object in which you want the button to appear.

There is no standard Visualforce component for a sidebar or such a layout design. But Visualforce is fully compatible with your own HTML and CSS, so you can build this the way you'd do normally.

<apex:page>
  <style>
     /* inline css stuff you'd need to align the divs*/
  </style>
  <!-- refering to a stylesheet file is prefered ofc, as that can be cached. -->
  <apex:stylesheet value="/resources/htdocs/css/basic.css"/>

  <div id="this is my sidebar">
     <!-- you can use visualforce components inhere-->
  </div>
  <div  id="this is my main content div">
       <!-- you can use visualforce components inhere-->
  </div>
</apex:page>

How to specifically do this with HTML and CSS is not salesforce specific and better asked at stackoverflow.
