HA! Ha ha haha ha ha. Oh, my. <wipes tear from eye>

Dear esteemed OP: I'm sorry, this post won't be of any help to you. I
shouldn't even be replying. I sincerely hope you do not think me rude.


To everyone else: Sorry to be adding to the NG noise, especially for
those who kf GGers, but if you have the time and want a smile you might
look at the code at the URL.

It seems that Microsoft's SharePoint makes Web pages of similar quality
to other fine Microsoft products like Word and Publisher. (OP is lucky
it shows in a non-IE browser at all.)

And... I think that's about all I have to say about that.

It looks to me that there is a box that is not growing height to house
floated children (which is not incorrect for a standards compliant
browser). If this is right you need to track it down and take measures.
One measure is to put overflow: hidden; onto it.

Try

<div id="main_box" style="overflow: hidden;">

This starts to sort the problem out. There are other things too.

You have such complicated css sheets and html, I decline to look deeply
right now...

Go to <http://validator.w3.org/> and check your page for errors.
(There are 147 errors on the page:
<http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.progressivegr oupalliance.com%2Fservices.aspx>)

Fix them; if it is still not working, come back with specific
questions.

What exactly is wrong with it? In Konqueror there seems to be nothing amiss.

In my last post to OP, I suggested among other hints, that he could look
to putting overflow: hidden on one of the elements that appeared not to
be growing height to house floats, I mentioned the main_box div.

I now come here to tell you, Irina, to take a look in Firefox and him to
look at putting overflow: hidden on his main_indent div that targets the
problem I am seeing a little more specifically.

In other words, from his

<div style="outline-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); outline-style: solid;
outline-width: 1px; id="main_indent" >

to

<div style="outline-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); outline-style: solid;
outline-width: 1px; overflow:hidden;" id="main_indent">

For IE6, if this sort of thing ever does happen, and it does in some
circumstances but not usually, he will need to "clear" an element at a
point just after the element that hangs outside to notify the parent to
develop the height to enclose the cleared element and, at the same time,
to enclose the element that was unenclosed.

There is some stuff on this at:

Ah, I see now! I'm so used to Konqueror being *more* picky than Firefox
about styles that I didn't even think of checking in Firefox as well.

(that'll teach me to do both by default!)

All the browsers have their little ways. When I first got Safari (on a
Mac, ages ago) I was pleased that it threw a fit if the CSS was badly
formed as often as not. Error correction in browsers is great for users
short term, not so informative for developers.

About your use of "picky", it is correct for a tall floated child of a
container to hang out. The author must do things if he does not want
this to happen.

I took out the DOCTYPE and it displays good in all browsers. Now can
someone tell me why that is? I thought a DOCTYPE was a good thing to
have.
