Comes as no surprise, as styles overrides - and sometimes duplicate -
other styles everywhere. I can't make it work either - unless I delete
most of your styles first.

Problem:
The use of 'absolute positioning' for large parts of complex pages is
destined to fail. 'AP' gives you a number of independent containers,
with little or no control over how containers interact and adjust to
each other.

Note especially that 'float' and 'AP' won't work together on the same
element, as 'AP' will always win and 'float' is ignored. You can't make
clear work below 'AP'-elements either.

Solution:
Start all over again with clean stylesheets, and avoid the use
of 'absolute positioning' for anything but very small pieces - and only
when all major parts of your layout are rendering _together_ as you want
them to.

You can probably use the same source-code, but validate it first and
clean up those few errors found in there.
