My right column is overlapping into my main content column how do I prevent this from happening? I tried using overflow: hidden; and overflow: auto;. I used the clear property for my left and main column which worked to prevent them overlapping.

It would really help if you provided a link to your site, or your code.

My html code

<head>
<title>Sample</title>
<link rel ="stylesheet" type= "text/css" href="SampleWeb_Killebrew.css"/>
</head>

<body>
<div style="width:100%; margin-top: -18px;">
    <div style="width: 100%; height: 100px;  background-color: white;">
    <p style="padding-top: 3%;font-size:30px; font"><i>Welcome to Marketing page </i></p>
     </div>  

    <div style="width: 100%; overflow: hidden;">
    <div><li><a href="#" class="nav">About</a></li></div>
    <div><li><a href="#" class="nav">Books</a></li></div> 
    <div><li><a href="#" class="nav">Electronics</a></li></div>  
    <div><li><a href="#" class="nav">Apparel</a></li></div>
    <div><li><a href="#" class="nav">Activities</a></li></div>
    <div><li><a href="#" class="nav">Engagement</a></li></div>
    </div>

    <div class="thumbnail">
