Angry I hate firefox

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could provide some assistance with my website:

http://www.interactive-learning.info...liffe/onesided

My problem is the right hand menu. It overlaps the footer in Firefox, but is fine in Internet Explorer. Looking at the CSS I can see no reason why this should happen.

Many thanks to anyone who can help

in your css for you #footer change clear:left; to clear:both;

p.s. FF is more standards compliant, so really you should code to this and then check IE, not the other way around.

Re: I hate firefox

The problems are less in CSS and more in HTML.

  1. If you are using id="whatever" (#whatever), it can only be used once with the same name. If you want to use it more than once use class="whatever" (.whatever)
  2. If you count your opened divs and the ones you closed, you will find that the rightmenu div is still open when you call for footer.
  3. Please consider validating .

Re: I hate firefox

Thanks, changing the clear on Footer worked! I can't believe it was that simple. I generally tend to code for IE first because more people use it.

Thanks for the info about classes and ids too. I didn't know that.

No offence, but the problem isn't Firefox, it's probably your code.
IE gives wanna be web-designers very bad habits - stay away from it.
