    You have a height of 138px specified on .NewsFeature. IE may be ignoring it, but FF quite properly is not. This looks like an odd case of IE's broken behavior giving you what you want when it really shouldn't.

    I downloaded the home page into Microsoft expression where I changed the div height to auto for your NewsFeature div in your css, works for me in both firefox and exploder (which I never use),
    I didn't check anything else to deeply, though to see if it throws a wrench into the rest of the page. The only errors that firefox shows in the error console are scroll bar colors, but those are commented for IE only anyway.

    Yup...the height for the newsfeature was oversight on my end. Fixed.

    Now I just need to work out something to kill off that space in the middle...maybe set the newsholder background to the dark brown...

    Yeah, it's very easy to miss things like that when you've been staring at the stylesheet for too long.

    I don't know if this will work in all circumstances, since I only have IE here at work. If you remove both the width and float statements from .NewsRightHalfHolder, it looks correct under IE and gets rid of the empty center column.

    That worked nicely too...I'll play with it some more tomorrow...I haven't messed with stylesheets in a while so this is a refresher for me.

    Thanks you guys for the help.
