[SOLVED] positioning problem (ie and ff)

hi, could someone please have a look at the html and css at this address....

http://www.design365.co.uk/sef/test.htm

basically ive started a container <div> starting immdeiately after the orange line and a 'flash' <div> inside it which is basically a black rectangle for now. the container div is centralised using 'margin: 0 auto;' my layout looks fine in FF but not in IE because the 'flash' div is going left for some reason, ive ran out of things to try

Thankyou

Re: positioning problem (ie and ff)

Change your doctype to this strict doctype

HTML: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I always use a strict doctype when coding so when I copied your code and it worked ... I commented the strict doctype and added the transitional and it didn't
