You will need to show us the code for that site if you want any help.
It could be a number of things that cause this, the html, the css, widths, positions and ordering, etc.

I don't understand what you are trying to create with this.
Is it like:
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/x ... xample.gif[/img]

If so then you have some messed up code there.

EDIT: HAHAHA, DUDE! You will smack yourself in the face SOOOOO hard when I tell you what you did wrong XD

Here is the html fixed!
Code: 
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style/index.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

<div class="leftside">
<div class="anihead">A</div>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Air_font.html">Air</a></div> <div class="num">(10)</div></div><br>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Aishiteru_ze_Baby_font.html">Aishiteru_ze_Baby</a></div><div class="num">(26)</div></div><br>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Akahori_Gedou_Hour_Rabuge_front.html">Akahori_Gedou_Hour_Rabuge</a></div> <div class="num">(12)</div></div><br>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Akazukin_Chacha_front.html">Akazukin_Chacha</a></div><div class="num">(72)</div></div><br>


</div>
<div class="rightside">
<div class="anihead">M</div>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)</div></div><br>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)</div></div><br>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)</div></div><br>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)</div></div><br>


</div>

Well, tell me as i see no difference between the two.  Well other than the extra name/num lines addrd to M.  My problem is with the bgcolors not showing up as they should.

Firstly, with anibg and anibg2 DDD should be DDDDDD and White should be FFFFFF.
Secondly, the problem is that the background color is defined but it has no height or width, so it is producing the background on 0 pixels by 0 pixels

Use this CSS code.
with anibg1 and anibg2 the width is 100% and height is 19px
Code: 
body{ 
 margin:0; 
 padding:0; 
 text-align:center;
 background-color:#ff99cc; 
} 
 
#pagewidth{ 
 width:750px; 
 text-align:left;  
margin-left:auto; 
 margin-right:auto; 
} 
 
#header{
 position:relative; 
 height:90px; 
 background-image:url("../images/top-tile-bar.jpg");
 background-repeat:no-repeat; 
 background-position:center center;
 width:750px;
} 
 
#leftcol{
 width:150px; 
 float:left; 
 position:relative; 
  }
 
#maincol
{
    width:600px;
    background-color: #ffffcc;
    float: right; 
    display:inline; 
    position: relative; 
 }
 .conheadblue
 {
     background-color:#0000ee;
     color:White;
     text-align:center;
     font-size:x-large;
 }
 .conheadred
 {
     background-color:#bb0000;
     color:White;
 }
 
#footer{
 height:20px;
 width:100%;
  background-color:white; 
 clear:both;
 text-align:left;
 line-height:20px;
 } 
 

 
.clearfix:after {
 content: "."; 
 display: block; 
height: 0; 
 clear: both; 
 visibility: hidden;
 }
 
.clearfix{display: inline-block;}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix{height: 1%;}
.clearfix{display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */  

.nav
{
    background-color:#ffffcc;
    border: medium solid #C0C0C0;
}
.navheader
{
    background-color:#0000ee;
    height:20px;
    line-height:20px;
    text-align:center;
    color:White;
    border-bottom: medium solid #c0c0c0;
}
.navbody
{
    background-color:#ffffcc;
    color:Black;
}

.num
{
    float:right;
    width:auto;
}
.name
{
    float:left;
}

 
 /*printer styles*/ 
 @media print{ 
/*hide the left column when printing*/ 
#leftcol{display:none;} 
#twocols, #maincol{width:100%; float:none;}
}
.nob
{
    border:0;
}

.anihead
{
    font-size:xx-large;
    background-color:#ddd;
}

.anibg1 
{
    background-color:#dddddd;
	width:100%;
	height:19px;
}

.anibg2
{
    background-color:#ffffff;
	width:100%;
	height:19px;
}

.leftside
{
    float:left;
    width:45%;
}
.rightside
{
    float:right;
    width:45%;
}
Now the Divs will define a new line, so move the br tags to before the two </div></div> tags (It should really be br / aswell)

This is your new HTML
Code: 
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style/index.css" type="text/css" /></head>

<div class="leftside">
<div class="anihead">A</div>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Air_font.html">Air</a></div> <div class="num">(10)<br />
</div></div>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Aishiteru_ze_Baby_font.html">Aishiteru_ze_Baby</a></div><div class="num">(26)<br />
</div></div>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Akahori_Gedou_Hour_Rabuge_front.html">Akahori_Gedou_Hour_Rabuge</a></div> <div class="num">(12)<br />
</div></div>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name"><a href="http://animecasting.com/a-d/Akazukin_Chacha_front.html">Akazukin_Chacha</a></div><div class="num">(72)<br />


</div></div>
</div>
<div class="rightside">
<div class="anihead">M</div>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)<br />
</div></div>
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)<br />
</div></div>
<div class="anibg2"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)</div></div><br />
<div class="anibg1"><div class="name">Name</div><div class="num">(num)</div></div><br />


</div>

You will find all that works fine!

@Xilef: color keywords and three digit hex identifiers are actually completely valid CSS. Keywords are not considered "preferred" methods since the precise values of those keywords may vary from browser to browser where a standard has not been established, but three vs. six digit hex identifiers are just varying levels of specificity.

3 digit hex codes are giving me errors here :s
By errors I mean they aren't working at all, but that doesn't matter!

You should be able to use them, just make sure you lead them with a # sign. They work all the way back to at least IE5. I don't know why you'd have a problem :(

I assumed that the content within the div would give it it's size. But, okay.  I use White and the like only while working with the mockups.  It isn't until after that point I input the final colors.

One last question, which I'm only bothering to ask now since I've already done it the hard way, was there a simpler way to do the Alternating BGs for the divs Rather than all of them by hand?  I mean 2 hours of doing it by hand was a little tedious.

Short answer: no. There is a CSS pseudo-class selector called odd/even but it's not supported by most browsers so even though it's cool you can't rely on it. It would look like:
Code: 
li:odd {
background-color:#888888
}

There's also an nth-child selector so you can select, for instance, only elements that are the 2nd and 5th elements, but once again no browser support.

The easier way to do it compared to your approach though is to just tag the odd elements with a class "odd". So:
Code: 
<ul class='nav'>
<li>Nav 1

<li class='odd'>Nav 2

...

then you would use css selectors:

Code: 
ul.nav li {
background-color: #AAAAAA;
}
ul.nav li.odd {
background-color:#DDDDDD;
}

This saves you a bit of work. There's an easy trick for generating these with PHP too which saves even more trouble, I'll post it later (have to go right now).

With Mr. N's css, I believe this should work:

Code: 
<?php

$links = array(
    'nav1' => 'nav1.html',
    'nav2' => 'nav2.html',
    'nav3' => 'nav3.html',
);

echo "<ul class='nav'>";

$index = 0;
foreach ($links as $title => $link) {
    echo "<li" . ($index % 2 == 1 ? " class='odd'" : "") . "><a href='" . $link . "'>" . $title . "</a>";
    $index++;
}

echo "</ul>";

?>

...Well that's what I just did...

Unless by num you mean 0 and 1 (or 1 and 2), in which case you can just insert

Code: 
$num = $index % 2;

after

Code: 
foreach ($links as $title => $link) {

No, i intend to use three variables in this fashion:

Code: 
echo "<div" . ($index % 2 == 1 ? " class='anibg1'" : " class='anibg2'") . "><div class='name'><a href='index.php?p=" . $link . "'>" . $title . "</a></div><div class='num'>(" . $num . ")</div></div>";
To produce:

Code: 
<div class='anibg1'><div class='name'><a href='index.php?p=nav1'>Nav1</a><div class='num'>(5)</div></div>
<div class='anibg2'><div class='name'><a href='index.php?p=nav2'>Nav2</a><div class='num'>(3)</div></div>

$num is End-User defined.
