Background / Spacing problem in IE

View this page in IE and FF

The body background doesn't stretch properly in IE and there's a space between the footer and the body. Any ideas?

Put clear:both in place of float:left

.footer {
clear:both;
background: url('images/footer_bg.jpg') no-repeat bottom;
width: 770px;
height: 25px;
}

cool, that fixed the footer problem.

any ideas for the background? it still has a white space below the left nav.

Put the footer DIV within the body_wrapper and use the CSS correction in my last post.

<!-- BODY -->
<div id="body_wrapper">

<img src="images/header_happycouple.jpg" border=0 width=590 alt="">
<div class="body_main">
<div class="body_header"><p>Buyer Resources</p></div>

<div class="footer"></div>
<!-- END BODY -->
</div>
