The height is not to fix the problem, but to explain what's going on.
It's true that your DIV is a "wrapper" (I didn't check this first), but you
have used "position:absolute" on #mung_adv, so #mung_body has no real
"content". Try "border:1px solid red" on #mung_body and you'll see what I
mean.

I'd change this:
#mung_adv {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    background: transparent;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 201px;
}

For this:
#mung_adv {
    padding: 0;
    background: transparent;
    margin:0 0 0 201px;
}
