Many thanks for your help. And thanks to others for their suggestions too. But I still don't understand one particular thing, and I must be fundamentally misunderstanding something! Surely the </div> you have highlighted only closes the #mainNav div. Doesn't the overall #wrapper need a closing </div> too? I've looked over my html many times. I have an overall wrapper div and within that a number of divs and all have their opening and closing tags. I've tried removing the final </div> which I had assumed was the closing </div> for the wrapper. Nothing happens - so I really must be doing something wrong. I've got: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="content">........................ <div class="imagecaption"></div> </div>..............................(closes content) <ul id="mainNav"></div> </div>..........(closes wrapper??) The strange thing is, everything is centred and where it should be. So the wrapper is working and holding things in place Only I can't put a border around the #wrapper in FF. In Firefox a border around the #wrapper just wraps around the #header.But the border does show up in IE? Again, any explanations of this would be very welcome.
