[amrigo]

Hi

This link :

does not work on ie and firefox exactly the same way. In Firefox the text drop out of the div´s borders..

How can have a tableless design browser compliant?

here is my css code:
#container {
width: 90%;
margin: 2px auto;
background-color: #fff;/**/
color: #333;
border: 1px solid gray;
line-height: 130%;
/*height: 350;*/
}

#top {
padding: .5em;
background-color: #333399;/*ddd*/
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}

#top h1 {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

#leftnav {
float: left;
width: 160px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0.1em;
text-align: left;
}

#rightnav {
float: right;
width: 160px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0.2em;
text-align: left;
}

#content {
margin-left: 100px;
border-left: 1px solid gray;
margin-right: 100px;
border-right: 1px solid gray;
padding: 0.4em;
max-width: 36em;
height: 250;
text-align: left;
}

#footer {
clear: both;
margin: 0;
padding: .5em;
color: #333;
background-color: #ddd;
border-top: 1px solid gray;
}

#leftnav p, #rightnav p { margin: 0 0 0.2em 0; }
#content h2 { margin: 0 0.1em 0; }

#navcontainer{

For starters you've got a lot of HTML mark up problems so you need to start by validating your HTML then your CSS.

In Firefox the text drop out of the div´s borders..
Divs are NOT to expand to contain floated content. This is a bug in IE. Firefox is performing correctly as usual.
