More CSS problems!

[will7]

Some of you may remember my thread here on converting my site to CSS - well, I'm still having trouble :p

If you go to www.rednerve.com/test/index2.php then you can see what I have so far. If you look at that URL in IE, it displays fine, everything how I want it but, go to the same URL in Firefox and it completely messes up - at the bottom with the text going under the footer and such.

I'm calling on Namepros to help me try and fix it I've attached a .zip file which contains the test site, currently just the homepage, images and the external stylesheet I've used. I'd be so grateful if someone could take the time to have a look through and try to locate and solve the problem for me :tu:

I would really like to get the site converted to CSS because it's just cleaner :lol: so any help is much appreciated and if you need to know anything else, just ask

Thanks in advance,

Will.

Just looking through your CSS for a couple of seconds... you are floating everything. You really don't need to float every item on the page. But to solve your footer problems I think all you need to do is add this to your footer_container style:

clear: both;

You need to clear your floated left and right columns in order for the footer to display below them.

I added "clear:both;" to my footer_container but it did not have any effect. What do you mean by needing to clear both left and right columns in order for the footer to display below them?

OK, I've figured out how to solve the footer problem, but now I have another one :hehe: If you go to www.rednerve.com/test/index2.php again, you'll see that when you scroll in Firefox, the borders either side of the central column do not stretch all the way down and I don't know why.

I re-attached the .zip file of the site so if anyone could have a quick look, I'd be grateful

Thanks,

Will.

Do you mean the borders don't go down into the footer?

Are you from Milwaukee or Wisconsin?

Your site is offline at the moment..

However I suggest you take a look at this article (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/footers/) and maybe it will solve your question..

The biggest problem currently is the deal with footers in CSS. These footers normally render better in FF, since IE 5.0 does not support the min-height attribute (although IE 6.0 does).
