Hi

Theres a page at http://www.nortymunki.net/morefun.php that looks fine in FireFox but when loaded in IE the central column which is a <div> gets dragged all the way to the bottom of the page.

I've tried pulling all the content together in a table but it just doesnt work. Has anyone got any ideas I can try?

Thanks

This is a common problem in IE with floated divs. It's caused when the content is wider than the containing div. In your case, the ads under "other sites" in the right column is wider than the column width (thank the firefox web developer extension w/outlining).

There may be more ads that are too wide for the containing divs, but I have the ads blocked in firefox, so I don't see all of the elements outlined.

You must also be sure you CLEAR your floats.

Seems okay on this end. The only problem I saw with the site is "Sexy bikini salsa." So wrong. So very, very wrong.
