Sadly, this time it's Firefox that's acting up. The home page is fine: http://staging.renovate.com.au This page, however, is royally screwed: http://staging.renovate.com.au/clubreno/index.cfm What on earth has happened here?? It's as if there is suddenly a whole bunch of extra margins, or things have been absolutely positioned and the numbers are wrong. I've checked the DOM inspector in Firefox, however, and neither of these seem to be the case.

No big deal. Good point, and I did as you suggested. Oddly enough, however, now I have a white strip at the top in IE that says: <!--[if lt IE7]> <![endif]--> Did I do it wrong? I have to confess that I don't often use conditional comments, but I'm trying to get into the habit of it. As for what IE7 may or may not support, I'm going to wait until a little closer to release before I start worrying. I'm the in-house developer for this site, so it's not like there's going to be a problem if I need to make a change or two down the track. That's what they're paying me for, anyway. ;) BTW: I think you have a slight flaw in those width-values, as that > footer looks a bit too short in Firefox. I'd noticed that too. I figured it was a small-fry of a problem until I could make the actual box extend all the way, though. I'll start playing with it now, though.
