jQueryUI Accordion - overflowing parent <div> container

jQueryUI Accordion - overflowing parent <div> container

Somewhere along last week, my two accordions broke.  I wished my company operated a cvs.  but oh well.

I have my accordions set up as such:
  1. $('#left').accordion({         header: 'h3',         fillSpace: true         });         $('#right').accordion({         header: 'h3',         fillSpace: true         });

Here is the css for both accordions:
div#weapon div#left {
    display: none;
    clear: both;
    float: left;
    width: 47%;
    height: 250px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    border: 2px solid red;
   
}
div#weapon div#right {
    display: none;
    clear: both;
    float: right;
    width: 47%;
    border: 2px dashed purple;
}

So why is my accordions overflowing (like off the visual page - web site scrolls) the parent divs in vertical direction (div#right and div#left).  Did I miss  a "switch setting"???

here is the HTML:
<div id='right'>
        <h3><a href="#" title="#">Performance</a></h3>
        <div id='perfs'>
            <p>In this container is where we will present to the user weapon performances such as operating temperatures, velocities, etc.</p>
        </div>
        <h3><a href="#" title="#">Containers</a></h3>
        <div id='containers'>
            <p>In this container, we will present to the user some of the particulars of how the item is packaged to include inner and outer packaging.</p>
        </div>
        <h3><a href="#" title="#">Transportation Data</a></h3>
        <div id='transData'>
            <p>This is where we will display transportation data to the user of such things as Hazard Class/Division, NSN, DODAC, DOTlabel, etc.</p>
        </div>
        <h3><a href="#" title="#">References</a></h3>
        <div id='References'>
            <p>This is where we will display item references such as publications or websites of specific interest</p>
        </div>

It is not the job you get handed, but what you have done with it in the end that people remember.
