hrmmm, interesting... Yes, there are several text areas, which are all floats (left) (Navigation container, photo/lang select container, page text container) each is also contained within the container.
The footer, which is contained within "container" has clear:both in it. which does not seem to do the trick. CSS for footer #footer { text-align:center; height: 19px; font-size:0.9em; background: #cc0033; clear:both; } I have posted a new image (from IE) with each container outlined. (the borders don't show up in FF, so that may be part of the problem, too) http://www.users.areva-td.com/dlf/screen_ie2.jpg Thanks for your help so far!!
