    Question Custom Skin - Main content not lining up properly in firefox. Footers in IE

    Hi all!!
    I am new to skin design and stuff and I am having the following rather frustrating problem.
    The main content on the site refuses to get lined up properly in firefox. I used a template from a book to get myself started. Here's the problem: Any time I have a category description, it aligns the category description to the top and the rest of the content to the bottom. It works fine in IE, but if I remove the "zoom" statements from the .twoColFixLtHdr #mainContent style, it does the same thing in IE as well!!
    Also the footer refuses to stay in the same place in IE, but follows the size of the page, maddeningly! In firefox, it's anchored to the bottom of the page.
    You can see what I'm talking about here :

    EDITED

    Checking the source, Ive come to believe the problem is related to a <br clear="all/> tag being generated right after the category description. However I'm not sure how to remove it or what part of the application is causing it to be generated. Also the old skin (ASPDNSF default skin with mods) generated the same tag and i didnt have this problem!!!

    As you can see IE has the content right but not the footer, and Firefox is just the opposite!

    Please help!!!!
    Many thanks!!

    Try tweaking the "width" in "#content" in style.css by 10 or so pixels in either direction from the default. That usually takes care of it

    Also make sure to follow our security best practices to make sure you and your customers are as protected as possible.

    Thanks Geroge!! I will be sure to follow the guidelines.

    I tried fiddling with the main content widths in the stylesheets and in the entity.grid.xml.config file. Basically it makes the category description and the subcategory grid expand and contract but doesnt change anything else. The description is still at the top and the subcats are at the bottom!!!!
    Is there anything else you can suggest?
    Where is the <br clear="all"> tag being generated? If I change it to a clear="both", the problem seems to go away, but I'm not able to tell where its coming from!!
    Thanks again!!

    ok i fixed it....had to enclose the main content div inside a dummy table, then everything lined up nicely. I guess the clear work slightly differently inside a table then....now for this silly footer!!!
