Menu - PHP Layers - Problem

Hi All

I am new to CMSMS so excuse me if this is something really obvious.
I have looked through the forum and done serveral google searchs.

My Problem is something to do with the PHP Layers Menu, I have tried to look at the code my self, it's way over the top of my head.
Anyway all I have done is tried to reverse engineer the Default Template & Stylesheet for my own site. I want to be able to put the Menu Div at an absolute postion instead of just floating it to the left or right. The second I get rid of "float:left;" and replace it with "position: absolute;" + a few width, height, top & left values. The second part of the menu pops up halfway down the page.
You will be able to see what I am talking about by going to http://test.bjc.id.au/cms/

The actual code follows.

Orginal Default Template
----------------------------------
div.leftsidebar {
    float: left;
    width: 120px;
    background-color: #EDF2F5;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 7px;
    border: 1px solid #64879d;
    color: #444444;
}

My Version
-------------------------
div.leftsidebar {
    position:absolute;
    width:134px;
    height:396px;
    z-index:3;
    left: 18px;
    top: 184px;
    background-color: #EDF2F5;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 7px;
    border: 1px solid #64879d;
    color: #444444;
}

Dont worry so much now I found a way around it, but I still didn't actully end up fixing the problem. I just changed the layout of the site slightly.
