I don't see any obvious difference between firefox and IE7. Am I missing something? One thing I could point out is that the #container div is not expanding to hold the floats, but I tried changing it in Firebug by setting its overflow to hidden, and I didn't see anything show up.

If you're going to use floats, you need to CLEAR those floats - which is what Wayfarer was pointing out.

Don't clear every float, no. But it is proper to clear the floats when a new row is needed.

Ok, audiomad, I'm looking at your CSS. You have got a LOT of extraneous stuff in there that simply won't work. You've got z-index all over the place, as well as top and left definitions, and you're putting this on elements that are NOT positioned. Z-index, along with the top and left properties ONLY work and apply to elements that are positioned absolutely or relatively, so applying them to other elements is a waste of time as they do NOTHING.

You have <divs> stuck inside of <li></li> - that's improper coding, divs cannot be inside of lists that way.

You're using deprecated code like <div align="center"> on an XHTML Transitional doctype - this, again, shouldn't be. Alignment like that is PRESENTATIONAL and should be specified in your CSS.

To clear the floats and make the bg image on #container 'wrap' properly, you need ONE clearing element on your home page, right after the closing </div> for #footer and before you close the container. Like this:
Quote:
</div>
<br class="brclear" />
</div>

</body></html>
Quote:
.brclear { /* Use a break with this class to clear float containers on both sides. */
clear:both;
height:0;
margin:0;
font-size: 1px;
line-height: 0;
}
This works, I downloaded your page and did it.
