Hi, Richard, It looks like there are two triggers. The oddly-overflowing blue background can be contained in the correct column by adding "zoom:1" to your #outer rule, and the background is further contained in the right parts of that column by adding "zoom: 1" to your .maincolumn rule. I noticed that the blue was leaking out of the main area of your site. I figured it would have to be an issue with the basic layout, so started applying triggers from the outside in. Applying the first layout trigger to outer got the main content column in place, but its contents were still wacky, which is what made me think it was a problem with that content as well. Typically I attack hasLayout issues by starting at the outermost container that looks like it isn't containing its contents like it should, then work my way in.
