My site is screwed

Hey guys,

I'm a student w/ little web development experience, the site I'm
currently working on renders fine in IE, but in Firefox the background
disappears halfway down the long pages....Any ideas would be
appreciated...

got any URL we can see this?

This sound more like a CSS problem then a ASP.Net one to me ;)

I noticed what you mean on the contact us page. Looked at page source, first
thing I noticed: you have no <body> tag, you just start using a div after the
</head> tag.

I don't know that it makes any difference, but do you need the clear both in
the footer class?

Hmm. If you get one of the css plug-ins for firefox, you can view css
information for a page. You select that option and you get a little
crosshairs thing. Click on the area under where the background stops. Shows
the style for footer only.

You can also get a plug-in to outline things. Outline block-level elements.
For some reason firefox thinks your horsearea div has ended before the
footer div begins. The page source looks ok to me, but double check those
divs. You can always add style=border:red solid thick; to one div, then blue
for the next, etc to see where your divs start and end.

Wouldn't worry too much though, I like the way it looks in firefox better
with the footer offset from the content by whitespace.

Hey!Thanks for the advice...I put styles with my div's to see where they
begin and end....but I still can't figure out the problem. The only
thing that I can do that changes the pages is in the style sheet w/ the
height attribute...Now its at 90%, if I change it to pixels the
background repeats to the bottom of the screen, but that makes the pages
w/ shorter content screwy, just scroll and scroll till the background
stops..Heres the code for the background area....Have any more ideas,
appreciate your help!!!

#HorseArea {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 125px;
background-image:url(../../res/images/horse.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
width: 901px;
height: 90%;
border: red solid thick;
}

Do you need to specify height at all? Width is commonly specified to ensure
consistent look regardless of the browser screen size, but height is usually
left undefined so that it grows or shrinks based on the length of content in
that block. Try it without specifying the height and let me know how it goes.
