I hate firefox

Hi all,

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

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.

The problems are less in CSS and more in HTML.

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)
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.
Please consider validating .

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.

Start using Firebug and you'll fine you start coding for Firefox first

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.
