Your right floated div can't go higher than where it is now - although you specify a width on the left column,the object still occupies the full space. The solution is to float (left) the left column. I've no idea why it would work with 'overflow: hidden' on your side (it really shouldn't and it doesn't in WebKit / Gecko browsers).
