Your div#main contains two floated blocks; these are removed from the flow, and as a result that div doesn't expand as you wish. It works in IE because that div has a 'width' specified. This causes the div to get 'layout' [1], and enclose the floated blocks. A good method to solve this problem is the 'easy clearing' technique [2].
