Content moving outside surrounding divs

[jabbamonkey]

I have a problem with the style of my webpage. When the text/content is REALLY long, the text runs outside of the white box (in CHROME). Please help.

Below is the code for the content and side boxes (you can also view the source of the page)

<div id="maincontent"> 
    
<!-- CONTENT -->
<div id="content">  		 				
   <h1>HEADER</h1> 
   <h2>SUBHEADER</h2> 
   <p>CONTENT</p>
   <p>CONTENT</p>
   <p>CONTENT</p> 
</div> 
 
<!-- SIDE BOXES --> 	
 <div class="side"> 
	<div class="sidebox"> 
          <div class="sidehead_visitoffice"></div>		
          <div class="sidetext">CONTENT</div> 
	</div> 
 
	<div class="sidebox"> 
          <div class="sidehead_services"></div>		
          <div class="sidetext"> CONTENT</div>                        
	</div> 
 
	<div class="clear"></div>
        <div class="clear">&nbsp;</div> 
   
</div>

</div>

Here are the major styles (viewable here: http://hollywoodfldentists.com/wp-co...heme/style.css)

#mainwrap		{ margin: 5px 3px; }
#maincontent 	{ padding-left:20px; padding-top:20px; line-height:20px; background:#FFF }

#content	{ float:left; width:600px;}

/* SIDE STUFF */
.side					{ background:url(images/side_back_main.jpg) repeat-x top left #f0f9fb; 
						  float:right; width:236px; padding:0px 20px 20px 20px; margin:0 20px 20px 20px; }

.sidebox 				{ margin-top:20px; }

.sidehead_visitoffice	{ font:bold 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; 
							width:236px; height:30px; 
						  background:url(images/side_head_visitouroffice.gif) no-repeat top left #0f94a1; }

.sidehead_services		{ font:bold 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; 
							width:236px; height:30px; 
						  background:url(images/side_head_services.gif) no-repeat top left #0f94a1; }

.sidetext				{ padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; line-height:1.4em; color:#000;
						  background:url(images/side_back.jpg) repeat-x top left #e7f5f9; }

Please help. Thanks

Anyone out there today?

This seems to work, just add these where indicated:

#maincontent {
	margin-bottom: -2985px;
	padding-bottom: 3000px;
}
#mainwrap {
        overflow: hidden;
}

You dont have to remove or change any of the other code used. Also you can see those 3 properties added and working at http://dev.noas.com/tester/test.html til tomorrow or whenver i delete it.

Wow, that definitely didn't work. Even on your test page all of the content is gone.

[NoasIT]

Interesting it works in firefox, ie and opera, but not in chrome or safari...

Anyone else have any ideas?

Its definitely a problem with the side content ... if I remove the side info, then the white box wraps around the content

[jabbamonkey]

The content and box were still sliding out of the maincontent div... so I just added a background color to the mainwrap id. That seemed to fix it... Still dont know why the maincontent wasn't holding the content in.

#mainwrap		{ margin: 5px 3px;  background:#FFF;}
#maincontent 	{ padding-left:20px; padding-top:0px; line-height:20px; }

If anyone knows why it didnt work with the maincontent, and why the text was expanding outside that area, let me know. I thought it was a problem with overflow, but any changes I made using that style didnt work.
