You definitely want to run your site through validation first as there
are several errors with your code using the DOCTYPE you're using for
the page(You're evidently missing an end div tag btw). I was able to
get your page to work in firefox (haven't checked in IE) by changing
your style for #mainContentPad to:
#mainContentPad {
padding: 15px;
width: 538px;
float: left;
}
whether or not that's the best approach I don't know but it fixed your
issue in firefox.
