Since everything (I think) in mung_body is absolutely positioned, there is nothing for that div to
surround and you get the image extending only as far as the nav UL. Reset the styles for mung_adv to
include {margin-left: 201px;) and remove the {position: absolute;} to see the display similar to
what you are expecting. Don't know if this will work completely for you, didn't test very
thoroughly.

hth,
