FF and IE difference - 11/2/2006 10:29:01   
I am working on a page that works fine in FF and Opera but displays with about 400 px padding or margin over the main content. Is there a conditional statement or hack I need to put in the CSS? Also is there a way to have the background image in the lower half on each side of the page extend down the full length of the page without doing what I have done here.
Here's my page. I have not validated or reworked the table yet but I don't think that contributes to the problem.

ran it through the validator at w3c, they noted:

quote:


Error Line 2 column 5: document type does not allow element "head" here; assuming missing "html" start-tag.

Error Line 132 column 26: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified.

Error Line 137 column 34: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified.

Error Line 140 column 4: end tag for "tr" which is not finished.


I am not sure about the middle two, but fixing the first and last are easy no brainers, need to be fixed, and might solve things for you. I don't have FF/opera on this computer else I'd try it and see if it did.
