can't get text to float right

and how can i get the text under specialities to match on both firefox and safari?

Which part is ‘order list footer’ ?
Is it

<div id="footer-2" ...

If so, you have absolute positioning which cancels floats.

If you want a cross-browser compatible website, you’ll first need to make sure this website conforms to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards.
Then paddings and margins will still cause problems, even so you should validate your website first.

what would be the best way to have the footer-2 div positioned the bottom right corner of the page?

Whereabouts in the bottom right corner?
Next to the peel or underneath the white background?

next to the peel, to the left of it.

I’d move that peel inside <div id=”footer-2>
E.g

<div id="footer-2">

<div class="footer_text" style="
    text-align: left;
">
<ul id="footer_nav">
<li><a href="https://www.fugostudios.com" onclick="window.open('https://www.fugostudios.com','', 'width=1024, height=695, location=no, menubar=no, status=no,toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no'); return false">FUGOstudios.com</a></li>
<li><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/WWX3" onclick="window.open('https://goo.gl/maps/WWX3','', 'width=1000, height=600, location=no, menubar=no, status=no,toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no'); return false"> 587 Virginia Ave Atlanta, GA 30306</a></li>
<li><a class="smcf-link"> (404) 537-5055</a></li>
<li><a class="smcf-link"> [email protected]</a></li>
<li><a>1</a></li>
</ul></div><a class="peel" href="https://fugostudios.com/mediakit/pg3"><img src="https://fugostudios.com/wp-content/themes/FUGOstudios/images/mediakit/pagepeelA.jpg" onmouseover="this.src='https://fugostudios.com/wp-content/themes/FUGOstudios/images/mediakit/pagepeelB.jpg'" onmouseout="this.src='https://fugostudios.com/wp-content/themes/FUGOstudios/images/mediakit/pagepeelA.jpg'" original="https://fugostudios.com/wp-content/themes/FUGOstudios/images/mediakit/pagepeelA.jpg" style=""></a></div>

Then maybe change ‘text-align: right’ to ‘left’ on the <div class="footer_text">

That looks like you’re almost there, just a few more tweaks

that didn’t seem to get it to align with the bottom of the page tho.

I’m sorry, I forgot to add:
Take away float from footer-2

Edit:

I can’t see a right arrow

fugostudios.com/mediakit/pg1 has the arrow visible.
i dunno where it is on pg2 but it should be somewhere.

but trying to get arrows on the left and right side of the white page.
and still can’t get that footer to work right.
