position:absolute takes the element out of the normal flow.
The wrapper box doesn't "see" the #maincontent, so it won't expand to
fit either.
I can't give you a ready solution without diving into your code, which
I'm not keen to do atm. General solution: don't use position:absolute
on the #maincontent, but find another way of placing it where you
want. If it's a page with a floated menu of 140px to the left, just
give the #maincontent a left margin of 140px and don't position it.
