Hi!
I got a problem with my container div in firefox:

[color=red]#container {
height: 100%;
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
background: url(container_bg.gif) center repeat-y;
}[/color]

it works fine in IE but in firefox the content floats outside the container when the content gets too big. please help!

The problem is to do with the the main div (#main). As it has a float its no longer part of the same scope as the container div (#container).

WHat you'll want to do is clear the float from #main, by adding the following:
[code]<div style="clear:both;"></div>[/code]
[b]After[/b] (not before) the closing div tag for the main div (#main).

problem solved:

html, body {
        height:auto !important; /* FF and compliant browsers should automatically size the body/html */
        height:100%; /* ie will set the body/html to 100%, anything overflowing that will (incorrectly) resize it. go IE */
        min-height:100%; /* when FF/etc automatically size the body/html it should be AT LEAST the height of the entire browser window, but can expand based on content. */
}
