CSS-d,

As mentioned in another thread, the web layout I'm discussing in this 
email has many problems. But, again, I'll do one problem per thread.

So other issues aside, I'm having trouble making this one DIV position 
itself correctly within the web page.

And, again, my absence of about a year from CSS has made me rusty, so 
please forgive me where I've missed the obvious.

The design I'm aiming at making should look something like this 
preliminary design:

I'm testing on FireFox version 2.0 on Linux. Here's what it looks like 
to me:

Here is where the CSS is in action:

So, the trouble is this one DIV called "#mainNavigation". If you look at 
the page, you'll see that it's over on the far left side, halfway off 
the page, and overlapping with one of the other menus.

I've specified the positioning of the #mainNavigation DIV to be 
"absolute". I thought that meant it would break out of the DIV it was 
nested in and be positioned in absolute terms within the page. But it 
seems to be positioned relative to its container DIV, called "#menus".

Why is it not floating over on the right hand of the screen?

Thank you for any advice.

CSS code:
#mainNavigation
{
    position : absolute;
    float : right;
    clear : both;
    right: 100px;
    top : 120px;
}

#mainNavigation li{
display: inline;
}
