The content of one div is encroaching on another div's space

I'm having trouble with my div text overlapping in unexpected ways. The source of the text is a JS file, so it may not appear correctly here.

The text in the div.subheader class keeps overlapping into the div.resource class, which is causing layout issues.

Here is the relevant HTML code snippet:

<body>
    <div class="loading" id="loading"><img src="./images/dash-loading-graphic.gif"/></div>
    <div class="contactsScreen" id="contactsScreen"></div>
    <div style="text-align:center;" id="popupTbl"></div> 
    <table class="maintable">
        <tr style="vertical-align: top; height: 130px;">
            <td class="header">
                <div id="qcntntTbl"></div>
                <div class="mainHeader" id="mainHeader"></div>
                <br/>
                <div class="subHeader" id="subHeader"></div>
                </br>
                <div class="resource">
                    <div class="resourcesVideo"><a href="javascript: openVidWin();"><script type="text/javascript">document.write("<img alt=\"\" src=\"" + imgpath + "playbutton.gif\" class=\"playButton\">");</script> <span class="resourceTxt" id="videoTxt"></span></a></div>
                    <div class="resourcesEE"><a href="javascript: setHelpContent(0);"><script type="text/javascript">document.write("<img alt=\"\" src=\"" + imgpath + "documentIcon.gif\" class=\"docIcon\"/>");</script> <span class="resourceTxt" id="empRsrcs"></span></a></div>
                    <div class="resourcesMgr" id="divMgrResource"><a href="javascript: setHelpContent(1);"><script type="text/javascript">document.write("<img alt=\"\" src=\"" + imgpath + "documentIcon.gif\" class=\"docIcon\"/>");</script><span class="resourceTxt" id="mgrRsrcs"></span></a></div>
                </div>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><div id="ActnContent"></div></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function findObj(){
        if (filesloaded !=4) {  
            cntrnum = cntrnum + 1;
            setTimeout(findObj,2000);
            if (cntrnum == 20){
                alert(" - Please contact your local IT Helpdesk for assistance viewing the What's Happening Now content. \n The content object is not defined.");
            }
        }
        else{
            document.getElementById("loading").style.display = "none";
            if (qryStrArr.length == 3 && frameQuarterIndicator.length == 1 && checkValidQuarter(frameQuarterIndicator) == true){
                changeQ(frameQuarterIndicator);
            }
            else{
                changeQ(getThisQ());
            }
        }
    }
    //test to see if the js file loaded
    findObj();  
    </script>

</body>

And here is the relevant CSS code:


a.sfLink {font-family: Segoe Print; size; 10}
/* Additional CSS styles go here */
