Hey, I am having a problem with my background in Firefox. The page code follows below:

 

HEADER.HTM:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="style/images/icons/browsericon.ico">
<link href="style/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>

<div id="logo_strip">
  <a href>
  <img border="0" alt="Kokoskrazy.com" id="logo" src="images/logo.gif" width="266" height="99">
  </a>
</div>
<div id="nav_bar">
     <a href="/index.php">Home</a> |

</div>

<div id="contained">

MAIN.CSS:

/* Body ***************************************************************************/

body {
    font-family: 'Century Gothic', Trebuchet MS, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-image:url('../images/background.gif');
    margin: 0px;
    text-align: center;
}

table, tr, td {
    font-size: 10pt;
    font-family: 'Century Gothic', Trebuchet MS, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    }

/* HR ***************************************************************************/
hr {
height: 1px;
color: #000000;
}

/* Logo Strip ***************************************************************************/

#logo_strip {
    text-align: left;
    background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image:url('../images/bannerbackground.gif')
}
#logo {
    margin: 0px;
}

/* Navbar ***************************************************************************/

#nav_bar {
    height: 26px;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    text-align: left;
    font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    padding-top: 4px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    font-size: 12px;
    background-image:url('../images/nav_background.gif');
}

#nav_bar a{
    color: 8e8e8e;
}

#nav_bar a:hover{
    color: 5e5e5e;
}

/* Main Body Container ***************************************************************************/

#main_body {
    margin: auto;
    width: 750px;
    color: #000000;
    text-align: left;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-left-width: 2;
    border-right-style: solid;
    border-right-width: 2;
}

/* Userbar ***************************************************************************/

#userbar {
    width: 167px;
    float: left;
    text-align: left;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 4px;
    padding-bottom: 4px;
    padding-left: 4px;
    border-right-style:solid;
    border-right-width:1;
}

/* Content Container ***************************************************************************/
#container {
    margin: auto;
    width: 570px;
    text-align: left;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    padding-left: 4px;
    float: right;
}

/* Footer ***************************************************************************/
#footer {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: #F7F3F7;
}

/* Footer Links ***************************************************************************/
#links {
    display: block;
    float:left;
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: #F8F8F8;
}

 

What my problem is, is that in the DIV represented as '#mainbody', I have a white background and borders on it. In Internet Explorer, it displays 100% perfect, but in Firefox I cant get it to display the background or borders for the DIV '#mainbody'.

 

I would be greatful if someone could help me out.

 

Thanks

I'm confused... you say you want the background and borders on #container, but in your CSS, you have no border or background color declared:

#container {
    margin: auto;
    width: 570px;
    text-align: left;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    padding-left: 4px;
    float: right;
}

Here's the problem: you have two elements within your #mainbody (#container and #userbar). Both of these elements are floated, so your containing div is not expanding to the full height of the child divs. You need to throw a "fix" on your #mainbody div to tell it to clear all of its children that are floated. Here is the one that usually does it for me. Add the following class to the end of your CSS page, then add the class="clearfix" attribute to your #mainbody div.

.clearfix:after {
    content: "."; 
    display: block; 
    height: 0; 
    clear: both; 
    visibility: hidden;
}

.clearfix {display: inline-block;}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}
.clearfix {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */

 

Hope this helps some.
