Menu
i haven’t coded a layout in awhile, so i’m rusty on how divs all work together. the problem is that my “maintext” div overflows into my “episode-sidebar” div and also, my “header” div overflows into my “video-container” div. here’s the code:

/* CSS Document
body {
background-color : #000000;
font-family : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color : #fff;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 12px;
}
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #999;}
A:visited {text-decoration: color: #999;}
A:active {text-decoration: color: #999;}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color:#f9d837;}
#maincontainer{
width: 1000px; /*Width of main container
margin: 0 auto; /*Center container on page
}
#header {
height: 100%;
}
#navigation {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#links {
float: right;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#video-container {
margin-top: 10px;
}
#content-wrapper{

width: 100%;
}
#maintext{
margin-right: 250px; /*Set right margin to RightColumnWidth
padding: 10px;
float: right;
}
#episode-sidebar{
float: left;
width: 250px; /*Width of right column
margin-left: -300px; /*Set left margin to -(RightColumnWidth)
padding: 10px;
}
#footer{
clear: left;
width: 100%;
padding: 4px 0;
}
.innertube{
margin: 10px; /*Margins for inner DIV inside each column (to provide padding)
margin-top: 0;
}
/* butons
#modernbricksmenu2{
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
border-top: 5px solid #f9d837;
background: transparent;
voice-family: “”}””;
voice-family: inherit;
}
#modernbricksmenu2 ul{
margin:0;
margin-left: 40px; /*margin between first menu item and left browser edge
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#modernbricksmenu2 li{
display: inline;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
padding: 0;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
#modernbricksmenu2 a{
float: left;
display: block;
font: bold 11px Arial;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0 10px 0 0; /*Margin between each menu item
padding: 5px 10px;
background-color: black;
}
#modernbricksmenu2 a:hover{
background-color: #f9d837;
color: white;
}
#modernbricksmenu2 #current a{
background-color: #f9d837;
color: white;
border-color: #f9d837;
}
