Hi Jess,

It looks like you have a float clearing problem. Here is a link that  
gives some good info on how to resolve these issues.

http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html

In your case there are a couple of things you can do. On your #main  
div add an overflow: hidden and a width of 100% such as:

#main {
        background-color: #f2e7a7;
        padding: 5px;
        padding-bottom: 20px;
        border: #A09460 solid 1px;
        overflow: hidden; /* added this */
        width: 100%; /* and this */
}

this is one way but another way might be to use the * hack such as  
this. Your #main would remain the same, but add the following just  
below it.

#main { background-color: #f2e7a7;
                padding: 5px;
                padding-bottom: 20px;
                border: #A09460 solid 1px; }

* html #main {
        height: 1%;
}

OR

* html #main {
        zoom: 1;
}

OR

* html #main {
        display: inline-block;
}

The * html hack makes it so IE6 will obey any rules set inside the *  
html hack.

I hope this info if helpful

Mark
