Brandon -> background problem (5/8/2006 14:13:44)

Ok,

I'm working with wordpress (first time), and I’m trying to customize it. Here is the problem. It looks ok in IE, but then not in firefox. I can’t post the site because it’s a part of our Intranet at work.


CSS
body { 
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 0;
	font: 0.7em Tahoma, sans-serif; 
	line-height: 1.5em;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	background-image: url("background.png");
	color: #454545; 
	text-align:center;
}

a {	color: #000066;	background: inherit;}
a:hover { color: #000066; background: inherit; }

h1 { font: normal 2.1em Arial, Sans-Serif; letter-spacing: -1px; padding: 7px 0 0 8px; margin: 0; }
h1 a, h2 a { text-decoration: none; }
h1 a:hover, h2 a:hover { color: #FF6600; background: inherit; }
h2 { margin: 0; padding: 0; font: bold 1.7em Arial, Sans-Serif; letter-spacing: -1px; }
h2 { font-size: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 5px; color: #000; background: inherit; }
p {	margin: 0 0 5px 0; }

ul { margin: 0; padding : 0; list-style : none; }
li { margin: 0; padding : 0; list-style : none; }


/* layout

#content { 
	margin: 0 auto;

It's a float clearing issue (IE is incorrectly expanding the content div to surround the floating divs - FF isn't so you only get a small amount of background colour).

Try sticking:

overflow:hidden


on your content div (assuming that's the "containing" div). That should solve it. If it doesn't come back and I'll give you another option (but bet the overflow will sort it!).
