    While we wait for your server lets see if we can get you started.

    Root’s rules for floats:

    R1. Float both the content and the menu (left and right) as recommended by Zeldman and set out at the noodleincident.

    R2. In the CSS:
    Menu {width xxpx; float:right/left}
    etc.

    R3. Do not add padding, margins or borders to a floated element. It will <del>b0rk</del> behave inconsistently in different browsers. .

    R4. For colored backgrounds use faux columns or the Holy Grail as to which see alistapart.

    Then clear the floats.

    That is it.

    You should also set “background-repeat:no-repeat” in our stylesheet for the header area. It’s repeating on the end.
