Hi... Having an issue getting 3 <div> elements to get inline... basically the navigation <div> sticks to the left hand side, I want the two other elements to sit beside it but they jump below instead...

Any ideas what is missing from my code???

here is the CSS:

#main_container {
margin: 0 auto;
background-color:#FFF;
width:800px;
height:600px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#000000;
border-width:2px;
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}

#nav_content {
clear:both;
float:left;
width:110px;
height:150px;
background-color:#fff;
}

#nav_content ul {
margin-left: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
}

#nav_content ul li {
list-style:none;
}

#accommodation_page_elements_copy {
margin-left:180px;
float:left;
clear:both;
width: 350px;
height:400px;
background-color:#CCC;
}

#accommodation_page_elements_copy p {
color:#666;
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
}

#accommodation_page_elements_copy h1 {
color:#AB5626;
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size:20px;
text-transform:uppercase;
}


#accommodation_page_elements_lb {
float:right;
width: 250px;
height:400px;
background-color:#666;
padding-right:5px;
}

and the HTML:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<li><a id="contact_btn" href="#" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="accommodation_page_elements_copy"></div>
<div id="accommodation_page_elements_lb"></div>

<div id="footer">
<p>all images and text &copy; Hargrove Estate 2009&nbsp;|&nbsp;terms &amp; conditions&nbsp;|&nbsp;design</p>
</div>

</div>

</body>
