CSS help

I have a problem with css.

I have php-included a css menu on my page. The problem is that for some reason I can not see, when I include the menufile there is a vertical space between the menu and the sidebar and maincontent area. I want those to be right below the menu with 0 padding.

See the attached screenshot at the bottom for an example how it looks

the css menu has its own css file.

Here is the source code for the page:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="css/test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /><!--[if IE 5]>

<link href="Resources/chromemenu/chrometheme/chromestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body class="twoColFixRtHdr">

<div id="container">
  <div id="header">
      <h1>&nbsp;</h1></div>
  <?php include('css/meny2.php');?>
  <div id="sidebar1">
    <h3>Sidebar1 Content</h3>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <!-- end #sidebar1 --></div>
  <div id="mainContent">
    <h1>&nbsp;</h1>
  <!-- end #mainContent --></div>
	<br class="clearfloat" />
  <div id="footer">
    <p></p>
  <!-- end #footer --></div>
<!-- end #container --></div>
</body>
</html>

Here is the CSS for the page:

Code:

@charset "utf-8";
body  {
	font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
	padding: 0;
	text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
	color: #000000;
}
.twoColFixRtHdr #container {
	width: 972px;  /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
	background: #FFFFFF; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
	margin-top: 0;
	margin-right: auto;
	margin-bottom: 0;
	margin-left: auto;
} 
.twoColFixRtHdr #header h1 {
	margin: 0;
	height: 115px;
	padding-top: 0px;
	padding-right: 0;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-left: 0;
	width: 972px;
}
.twoColFixRtHdr #sidebar1 {
	float: right; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
	width: 200px; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
	padding: 15px 10px;
	background-color: #EBEBEB;
	background-image: url(../Resources/grafik/bg_main.jpg);
}
.twoColFixRtHdr #mainContent { 
	margin: 0 250px 0 0; /* the right margin on this div element creates the column down the right side of the page - no matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends. */
	padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
} 
.twoColFixRtHdr #footer {
	padding: 0 10px 0 20px;
} 
.twoColFixRtHdr #footer p {
	margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
	padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
}
.fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page. The floated element must precede the element it should be next to on the page. */
	float: right;
	margin-left: 8px;
}
.fltlft { /* this class can be used to float an element left in your page */
	float: left;
	margin-right: 8px;
}
.clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */
	clear:both;
    height:0;
    font-size: 1px;
    line-height: 0px;
}

Here is the code for the menu file

Code:

<div id="meny">
<div class="chromestyle style1" id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://test.com/test.html/index.php">Hem</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Om test</a></li>
<li><a href="http://test.se/se/tjanster.php" rel="dropmenu2">Produkter & Tjänster</a></li>
<li><a href="http://test.com/test.html/blanketter.php">Blanketter & Broschyrer</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<!--1:a drop-down menyn -->

<div id="dropmenu1" class="dropmenudiv">

<a href="http://test.se/se/test_info.php">Om test</a>

<a href="http://test.com/test.html/juridiskinformation.php">Juridisk information / Priser</a>

<a href="http://test.se/se/kapitaltackning.php">Kapitaltäckning</a>
<a href="http://test.se/se/foretagsstruktur.php">Företagsstruktur</a>

</div>

<!--2:a drop down menyn -->                                                

<div id="dropmenu2" class="dropmenudiv" style="width: 165px;">

<a href="http://test.com/test.html/multiassetportfolio.php">Kapitalförvaltning</a>

<a href="http://test.com/test.html/pension.php">Pension / Fondförsäkring</a>
<!-- <a href="http://test.se/se/belaning.php">Belåning</a>  -->
</div>
</div>

Here is the CSS for the menu:

Code:

.chromestyle{
width: 970px;
font:11px Verdana;
font-weight: bold;
}

.chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/
content: "."; 
display: block; 
height: 0;

visibility: hidden;
}

.chromestyle ul{
border: 1px solid #BBB;
