Can't get section to float next to item, keeps moving under

Hey Bytes Community,

I can't seem to get this section to float correctly on my website. I have three items:
- A vertical Navigation box.
- A content section with text
- A vertical picture about 500 px tall.

I want the navigation box on the left with the picture floating to the left and beneath it, and then I want the content to run alongside both of those with the content's top flush with the top of the navigation box.

link

All I'm trying to do is get the top of the content in-line with the top of the navigation.

Thanks,
Tim

Validate the 158 markup errors. Set the sidebar float left and delete the height on it. Put the 500px tall image in it beneath the vertical menu. Add float: left; to the ruleset for the content block. Make the main content block readable and easily scalable (in IE) for those using an 116.5 or higher dpi laptop.

David,

Sorry about all the other technical issues. I made a lot of changes today and that's why the validator crucified it. The site is in its very early stages, and there is a lot I haven't fixed yet. Thanks a bunch for the help.
