• you propably heard alot of these kind of questions, but haven’t find a decent answer yet. I ussually have problems with IE (alot) and hate it to be honest, but this never happened before when creating websites.

    So I try to set a border (10px) around the whole website (=wrapper div)
    but for some reason it workes in IE but not in FF. In FF the wrapper shows a height of around 20px.

    body{
    margin: 0;
    height: 100%;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: top;
    background: #000000;
    color: #b3b3b3;
    }
    #wrapper{
    background: #000000;
    margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
    height: 100%;
    width: 940px;
    padding: 10px;
    text-align: left;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #1a1a1a;
    border-width: 10px;
    }
    #header{
    float: left;
    width: 960px;
    height: 151px;
    margin: -10px -10px 0 -10px;
    background-image: url(images/logo_goowik.jpg);
    }
    #menu{
    float: left;
    width: 960px;
    height: 46px;
    margin: 0 -10px 0 -10px;
    position: relative;
    }
    #container{
    float: left;
    margin: 10px 0 0 0;
    width: 583px;
    height: 100%;
    border-right: 2px dotted #1a1a1a;
    }
    .sidebar{
    float: left;
    width: 345px;
    height: 100%;
    background: #000000;
    margin: 0 0 0 10px;
    }
    #footer{
    clear: both;
    float: left;
    width: 960px;
    margin: 10px 0 0 -10px;
    padding: 10px 0 0 10px;
    border-top: 10px solid #1a1a1a;
    }

    I suppose you dont need the rest of the css.

    Logicly this should work no? I mean the container, header, sidebar, menu, footer are set into the “wrapper” div . So when I say to the wrapper to set the div at height 100%, it should work. But as you may have guessed by now, it doesn’t.

    Any help ? ??
