Add 'clear: both' to the "next tab"..?
Imagining that your 'content DIV' is addressed by '#content' in your
stylesheet, try adding...
#content {overflow: hidden;}
* html #content {overflow: visible;}
...which will let you add 'clear: both' - or any kind of clearers -
inside the 'content DIV', without having to worry about 'leftmenu DIV'.
The above addition is establishing a new 'block formatting contexts'[1]
which will isolate children of that 'content DIV' from all elements
outside it. The '* html' addition is there to save older IE versions
from something they don't understand and might mishandle.
IE6 and older may need more help, but I can't say without seeing the
actual layout.
