The overflow:hidden works great for getting it in the right spot but what syntax would I use to set the floated left div? Thanks again for the help.
This is what I did but I know I have the syntax wrong for setting the second thing you instructed me to do:
.header{
height:36px;
padding:5px;
padding-left:22px;
overflow:hidden;
block_left:227; <--! my guess but pretty sure it does nothing and the column is clipped-->
}
