Hi,
Here is the link with the CSS inside the source:
http://jdfmultimedia.com/test.html

the CSS works great with Opera and IE, but not Firefox. Can anyone see why?
Thanks very much
Jacob

Change your footer css to this:

..footer{
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
text-align: left;
color: #000000;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
clear: both;
}

Change the end of the code to place the footer inside the container div:

<!-- END CENTRAL CONTENT -->

<!-- FOOTER GOES HERE -->
<div class="footer">footer</div>

</div>

Thank you so much!
So, if I understand the W3C reference, 'clear' would control how something
is pushed around by other elements inside the same parent? Im just trying to
grab the meaning of the attibute so I understand what happened
Thanks
Jacob

You're welcome. Using "clear: left" would make it drop down to a "clear"
spot to the left. Using "clear: right" makes it drop to below other
content to the right. By adding "clear: both" to the footer, it means
that the footer will drop down below any other content, either left or
right. Note that it won't work to clear it from absolutely positioned
content because that is taken out of the normal flow of the document.
