Can anyone tell me why "Main" Div will not float left next to "Menu" div?

I can't seem to get it to go up.

Thank you!

Phil

wrap your code in
[code=language] code

[/code] tags leave out the blank lines
it makes it easier to read

use proper html doctypes if you want to use attributes of those doctypes
<html> means html 2.0 = no floats

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
