I faced several similar problems before, but, to be honest, don't remember exactly what I did. But I can offer some suggestions: make sure that parents have RELATIVE positioning, make sure that all parents are Relative, plus Parents have a fixed height (not percentages) - I know fixed height is bad, but just see if that works, and then base your decisions based on that.

Give it a margin, or padding, to push the content off > the left bar and you should be good to go. These two containers are siblings, so if the OP uses padding or margin to "push the content off the left bar" he will not be able to clear (left) floats in the main section without clearing the sidebar at the same time. This is why I suggested to use overflow/zoom to create a new block formatting context.
