I am developing a new website and am having some minor CSS/HTML issues that I can't seem to resolve. Here is the link to the website:
http://www.lanczglobal.com
Basically there are two issues I am dealing with, both with the lower half of the site (below header/menu). One is the height of the lower half of the site, it for some reason goes well below where the text ends, plus on the right half (dark blue) it doesn't line up with the height of the left side (light blue).
The second issue is the width of the lower half right side (dark blue). For some reason, it is extending off the page quite far and I can't size it appropriately to expand only to the size of the browser window and no more.

VirusMinus,
I made the changes you suggested with the CSS, but now have another alignment issue with the right section overlapping now into the left column near the bottom. I'm thinking it might be related to the strict DOCTYPE, but not sure how I need to change the doctype as you suggested. Could you spell that one out for me so I can award you the points?
VirusMinus,
What browser are you using because I've looked at the site since changing the DOCTYPE to strict in IE7 and Firefox and it still isn't right - even after clearing my cache.
Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing:

modify these bits of the CSS as follows:
style.css (line 55)
#main_body {
background:#002A5C; /*added this*/
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}
style.css (line 58)
#body_left {
background-color:#41709A;
float:left;
padding:14px 0pt 0pt;
width:215px;
/*removed display:block, height:100% and position:absolute as they are conflicting and not required*/
}
style.css (line 73)
#body_right {
background-color:#002A5C;
float:left;
margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 215px;
padding:0pt;
/*removed display:block, height:100%, width:100% and position:absolute as they are conflicting and not required*/
}
also use the strict DOCTYPE at the top of your page instead of the current transitional
