How do prevent text from going under floating ad aka put nothing below it

if you look at Wired.com you will see that below their left column, there is nothing below it except space. Looking at there CSS info for that I can't figure out how to do it. Here's their code

Code:

#colL {
  background:#000 url("../images/leftcol_bot.gif") bottom right no-repeat;
  position:absolute;
  width:25%;
  left:0;
  top:-15px;
  }
#colL .content {
  padding:0 10px 15px 10px;
  color:#ccc;
  font-size:85%;
  line-height:135%;
  }

look at my Dev site, and you can see that the text wraps below the google ad at the bottom. How do I prevent this? and Safari 1.2.3 doesn't support CSS columns yet.

Thanks all.

It will work when you remove the space between "#" and "content".

OOPS fixed. Thanks. I am still completely new to CSS (2 weeks at it now beyond the basic a:link a:hover)
