Exclamation Container Problem in FireFox

Hi im new to this forum although I have had some experience with CSS and other forums.

This is my website:

http://kttm.freehostia.com/sikhsoul/

Please look at this website in just 2 browers, IE and FF, I dont bother with other browsers as these 2 are the most stasticly used.

Straight away you can see the problem. In IE the container div looks fine, the page is going all the way down as there is content in there.
BUT in FF the backround image for the container div doesnt repeat itself and therefore the page doesnt get any loner.

Is there any soloution for me?!

Looks odd in Safari as well. I don't see the problem right off the bat, but the coding is patchy at best.

Re: Container Problem in FireFox

Yes. The solution is to rethink your layout structure.

This mix of divs and tables, relative and absolute positioning is always going to give you grief.

Plan your structure on paper using only divs and think about how you can achieve what your after without the need for so many absolutely positioned elements.
