Hi,

I'm new to css and would appreciate some help with the following two 
problems I've encountered in setting up a blog which can be seen here:

http://evomech2.blogspot.com/2006/02/re-evomech-re-peer-review-and-genetic.html 


Its a 2 column layout and I think the relevant css code is:

div#mainClm{float:right;width:66%;padding:30px 7% 10px 
3%;border-left:dotted 1px #E0AD12;}
div#sideBar{margin:20px 0px 0px 
1em;padding:0px;text-align:left;width:100%;}

The first problem (which occurs on Firefox but not IE6) can be seen at 
the bottom of the above page where the sidebar text overflows into main 
content area. I have tried to fix it myself but with many other things 
to do I'm really stumbling about in the dark.

The second problem isn't readily apparent because I've tidied the main 
column content up:

Entries in the main column are auto-added from a yahoo group and contain 
"tt" tags which are then carried over into the sidebar and change the 
text font. A similar effect is caused by posters using a variety of 
composing programs. Is there any code I can add to the end of the main 
div to stop _anything_ being inherited by the sidebar div?

through - my apologies if you've received this twice!]
