Majick was kind enough to share a design that works in both IE and FF. I'm sure he doesn't mind me passing it on. I'll check it out later.

I think I just fixed it! I removed the max-width and it looks good. The only reason it was there was to prevent very long lines (hard to read), but it looks OK on 19" monitor @ 1280 x 1024. So there shouldn't be any downsides, right?

This is the problem I was talking about, and you may not care because not everyone will have a screen this wide:

PHP Code:

It's because you have things floated in the center column, so as it expands things start breaking. A possible fix would be to instead of floating images in the center column, to assign them an align="left" and deal with the issues that creates (I've done that myself on a project).

This all stems from the fact that floated objects fall out of the document flow which means in essence that they are no longer contained by their container (which I think sucks ass).

You fix one thing and another pops up.

What's your screen res? It looks like you're using a wide-screen plasma TV!

If it's the floating objects that are causing the breakup, the solution may at least be something I can understand.

Of course I don't mind.. It's a default layout straight out of dreamweaver ....
