    www.bgwebservices.com/ex/main.xml (not really needed to look at source just to see page visually)
    www.bgwebservices.com/ex/main.xsl (all the html and divs etc)
    www.bgwebservices.com/ex/css/site.css

    In ie it displays fine. In ff i cant set the background colour and the main content/footer bg goes all the way to the right of the page whilst the header doesn't.

    I'm sure its some muddled code or something fiddly, but i can't find it and it's driving me mad.

    Please help

    Hi - it's the " position:fixed;" on your #main div that's causing the problem in Firefox.

    Having that div fixed position will cut off the bottom of the main content area on smaller screens (even 1024x768) - there is no way to scroll down to see the footer on a smaller screen.

    Hope that helps - good luck.

    Okay so i changed it to absolute. It turned out the body margin was causing the gaps. But the background still seems to be white in firefox below the footer and is rather annoying.

    Ryan,

    Did you ever find a solution for the problem you where having, if you could run it by once again. If you don't already have the solution I can try to help. You might also be able to help yourself by installing the firebug extension in Firefox. You can temporarily modify the CSS from within the browser to see what you might need to correct to get the look that your going for. I will continue to look back to see if you have posted back. Good Luck!
