How to make page longer in IE!!!

[sorry.no.email]

Hi,

I have an infuriating problem with the following page:

http://www.nepeanicu.org/test.html

I have tried to give the page some length (to free up the background
image) by specifying margins of the 'spacerbox' on the page:

margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 250px;

This works in Firefox but fails in IE. I am obviously missing
something basic so please show me my ignorance

Maybe padding-bottom:250px?

After #content DIV closing tag and before #container DIV closing tag add:

<br style="clear: both;" />

or similar element styled to clear floats

Hi Jonathon,

Thanks for that, that has worked a treat. I read a little on clearing
floats and I am a long way from understanding it exactly but I am
grateful that this particular example works

Thanks,

Andrew.
