Hi,

*sigh*

If it works in IE but breaks in Firefox, then your coding methods are wrong.

Firefox (almost) always displays web pages correctly. They may not look right to you, but that's because your code is wrong.

IE hardly ever gets a web page completely right, unless it's an extremely simple one. The only reason your page works in IE is that you tweaked it to work in IE.

Your link is not working, so I can offer only generic advice. Design your pages in Firefox (or Opera, or Safari), and then hack for IE (use conditional comments).

Validate your HTML and CSS with the W3C validator (not with Dreamweaver or another authoring tool).

Link works now. Odd.

Actually your page doesn't validate.

Your content <div> is floated left, but you haven't set a width. This means it will expand to allow room for the widest element inside. If you want it to fill the container, try giving it a suitable width.
