What do I do?
You have to contain and/or clear the floats OR don't use float.
add float:left; to ul.subcats
AND
add clear:left to .searchbox.
AND
add overflow:auto to .topnav
That works, but I can't say I understand (yet) why I need
"float:left" on the <UL> and on the <LI>s in the <UL>.

Use grid layout instead of floats. This makes things *much* easier:
Wonderful idea. First we lost Tim Berners-Lees brilliant concept of a
simple *content* description language that left look and layout mostly
to the viewer and thus worked well on *any* machines decades before
today's tiny screens were ever thought of. We're now back to the bad old
days of browser sniffing and delivering different content for different viewers -- just the very thing HTML was meant to get rid of. (http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/)
And now we go further and lose the power of CSS by reverting to a kind
of fixed, table-based layout.

This layout scheme probably has some appropriate uses, particularly for layouts that are trying to duplicate real world positions. A game board,
for example.
