I can't see why my left and right cols are falling below the main col.
Here's some of the html (using dtd xhtml 1 transitional)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="cg3col.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="pagewidth">
<div id="header"> <a href="index.html"><img src="images/logoTop.jpg" alt="Cape Gazette" name="cgLogo" width="554" height="126" border="0" id="cgLogo" /></a>
<div id="navigation"><script type='text/javascript' src="styles/menucg.js"></script></div>
</div>
<div id="wrapper" class="clearfix">
<div id="twocols" class="clearfix">
<div id="maincol">
<h1>NEWS</h1>
<table width="160" border="0" align="left" cellspacing="0" class="photoLEFT">
<tr>
<td><img src="images/placeholder.jpg" alt="photohere" name="placeholder" width="160" height="120" align="left" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=" photoCredit">Photo Credit</td>
</tr>
</table>
