Hello,

I am moving away from a table layout to a CSS layout. In the images below you can see how Mozilla FF shows the layout how I want it, yet the second shows the layout being displayed by IE.

Doe's anyone know why this is and if there is a fix for this problem?

I changed the margins in center box and center head, I also got rid of the last 2 groups in the css. works fine in ie 7 now and in FF.

well you don't need a set margin if you can just "center" it by using margin:0px auto; and I'm not really sure why you had the last 2 entries in your css.

try not to put too many things in your css file. the whole point of css is to keep the code clean, sometimes the more you add the harder it is to work with...and the more problems you could potentially have...

Please let me know if you have any other questions. :)
