Completely baffled by footer in Firefox

Hello, this is my first ever ever use of a forum (so go easy on me!).
Can you help me fix this problem, I'm sure I've overlooked something really obvious but I can't get the footer to sit 'inside' the main content holder. It works in IE but not in Firefox.

Thank you!

Re: Completely baffled by footer in Firefox

This is your code :
Code: Select all
<span class="copyright">
        © 2007 Precision Prospecting Limited
        </span>
Change it to:
Code: Select all
<p class="copyright"> © 2007 Precision Propecting Limited </p>
That will bring everything up, but now you'll have to add text-align: center to .copyright

Thank you Lchad but it still doesn't seem to work, see

I think I must be doing something wrong in the CSS?

Re: Completely baffled by footer in Firefox

Fixed it! Changed both <span>s to <p>s and fiddled with the styles to float:center rather than right and a put in a left margin. Haven't checked in other browsers yet but seems to work fine in IE and Firefox. Thank you for setting me off on the right track!

Re: Completely baffled by footer in Firefox

Why float center? That seems odd.

I was just gonna say!

There is no such thing as float: center! it's left, right, none or inherit
