Hi Duane, It looks like you need a little float clearing to make that happen. Check out this SitePoint article: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/02/26/simple-clearing-of-floats/ Notice the following links within the article: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html and http://www.sitepoint.com/examples/clearing_floats/example2.php The latter one I would try first. And I think that will solve your problem. Just at the overflow: auto (or hidden works, too) and width: 100% to your #main div.
