As was explained by another (Georg, I think), your incomplete doctype has all
browsers functioning in quirks mode. IE does what you wanted on those
thumbnails, as well as causing the content div to clear the floats, but it's
behavior is wrong. In quirks mode, Opera, and apparently Netscape, imitate IE's
misbehavior.
Firefox, however, is displaying more closely to what the specifications say
should happen, and therefore looking wrong to you.
With a complete doctype (you've been given a reference to the wiki already, and
I've posted several references today in another thread about the box model), IE
would still look "right" (and be wrong) but the other browsers would probably
look more like FF in their rendering of your page.
To reiterate previous suggestions -
Start with a complete doctype, code to the standards, not to a browser's
display (or Dreamweaver'), check and make your pages work in
Firefox/Opera/Safari, fix display differences in IE after the other ones are
doing what you want, use the markup and CSS validators along the way as tools,
to check that you aren't making errors that could further complicate
cross-browser display, learn what the specifications say "should" happen with
the code you write.
Cheers,
