Try floating the wrapper to see if that helps. I don't see a difference between firefox and IE, although it could be my version of IE. What is the background image? The guy in the suit?
Didn't Opera remove advertising?

Pulling out my hair. I cannot get this to work in IE and can't figure out where I'm going wrong. If I float:left the #maincontent, I lose my background image because #wrapper has no height. IE does not want to honor something. The #mainecontent should move up around the floated #nav. Do I need a :clear? Hoping someone is working away somewhere.
