Okay, okay let me get this straight your are saying "My markup is
totally invalid, but that is okay because it is *just* a mock up, so why

Do you mean vertically? Well it does not matter because of my first

If you wish to control the presentation of your webpage your must first
correct your markup, then correct your CSS. My initial advice still
stands, please review and linger a bit on #4
