I guess a link might help…

This is a post with no comments, so it’s very evident there:

I just ran a validation from W3C on it and it doesn’t validate at all. There are a ton of canons going off. Validate yourself, through several validators to make sure, and you will find the culprit – all of them. You got a few things going wrong, though it’s a great layout, that need fixing.
You have quite a long sidebar, perhaps adding a min-height attribute might help in fixing the issue as it seems the sidebar content extends too far.
In FF I noticed that the page has a very long white space on the right of the page, I’m assuming this isn’t intentional and will probably require fixing, Your CSS may validate, but it won’t tell you what you need in order to fix your page – it’s just telling you what already have will work, and doesn’t balance against the content of the page.
Also agree with Lorelle – fix the validation errors, and you’ll narrow down your problem as there many in there.

I’ll rerun the validation (though most of the errors I got were because I added comments to see where each <div> began end ended (and I used <--- comment ---> instead of <-- comment -->).
I’ll keep looking at it and may implement the min height attribute that Jinsan suggested.
Thanks for the complement on the layout. It’s a heavily modified theme (Harbors) taken from AlexKing.org.

I fixed 99% of the validation errors (it still hates the java script I have) and revalidated both the pages and the css. The footer still floats.
I did, however, make it so that it no longer displays most of the content of the sidebar if you navigate off the main page. While a cheese workaround, that should do the trick.
