Wow
that actually crashed my IE?
That’s
never happened before – I opened it, and it crashed!
lol…
My
mozilla displayed it fine tho…
Except
your navigation up top didn’t work for either (from what I saw in IE
before it crashed)

Hi Mark,
First of welcome from lurker status :)
1. invalid page
http://validator.w3.org/check\?uri=http://www.phunky.co.uk/bs/
Just three items in the head of your document need " />" to be
valid XHTML.
Always validate before testing or posting - like cleaning your teeth :)
Peter and I have been accused of obsession in this regard
(http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/sitemap.cfm\)
but it is very important!
2. the link to the css file does not work in some browsers as you did not
add a media, so this:
Should be this:
Or "all" if you want it to be printed etc. Safari does not recognise
the CSS
file at all.
3. The problem is floats as you thought. Mozilla is doing the right thing.
Win/IE is not! The example I posted the other night explains the problem.
The container (in your case "content") does not recognise the height
of a
floated item (sidemenu" div), so will close at the end of the static
content
("news" div). The "sidemenu", as it is floated right, and
as its height is
not recognised by the container, it pokes out the bottom. Check this for
more info:

Easy to fix. Just add a clearing devise below the two divs ("news"
and
"sidemenu"), but inside the overall container.
