CSS: Links float past headerbar?

Demo: http://www.mindtale.com/test.html

I'm pretty new to CSS so I am probably using the wrong code for something in here. I am trying to have a website than can resize to any screen size but at the same time, I want the links I have, Portfolio and Contact, to be permanently placed so it will stay on the headerbar instead of floating off to the left or right beyond it. How could I fix this?

Thanks for the help! :D

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

<!-- Header -->

<div id="headerlogo">
<a href="index.html"><img src="images/logo.png"></a></div>

<div id="headerfill"></div>
<div id="header"></div>

<div id="headerlink1">

<a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a>

<div id="headerlink2">
<a href="contact.html">Contact</a>

I made a fiddle for you where I have rebuilt your HTML and CSS and you can see it working (couldn't resist). http://jsfiddle.net/David_Knowles/2y7U5/1/

You'll see there is a lot less code.

The Main pointer I will give is that you would be wise to make more use of the Cascade in your styles. Hence CSS = Cascading style sheets. It's the key to efficient front-end coding. Nest your HTML more too :-) (less styles need then).

div id="headerlogo">
    <div id="headerfill">
        <div id="header">
            <a href="portfolio.html" id="headerlink1" >Portfolio</a>
            <a href="index.html"> <img src="http://www.mindtale.com/images/logo.png" alt="Mindtale"> </a>
            <a href="contact.html" id="headerlink2" >Contact</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
