I am redesigning this site: www.thefifthyear.com/alpha

It displays fine in FF but when viewed with a windows machine in IE6 the content in the last div tag is removed from the block, dropped below and left. I have been trying to correct this for about 4 days now, very frustrating. Any suggestions are welcome. Style sheet:

nav and menu have be used twice as id, use class instead.

Thanks for the advice fang. I didn't even notice that I had done that despite knowing it's against the standard, but even when trying it with different id's or as a class, it still will not work.

And it never will until you change it and leave it that way. Also, validate your code and fix the rest of those errors.

Though I haven't posted the code on to the server, on my local machine I have validated the code, and run through numerous variations of the code to try to get it working properly and it still doesnt seem to work, i'll post the update later this afternoon.

Hey guys, thanks for the help so far, I've validated all my code, placed an updated version on the server, but that hellish IE browser just won't budge, this is getting pretty frustrating.

I have noticed that, if I remove the footer of the page, the previous <div> behaves the same way as the footer. In other words I tried removing the original footer to correct the issue and the content section began wrapping below also. Any have any similar experience or suggestions?

Just wanted to say thanks to all who helped, but I figured it out. It had to do with IE border and spacing, I was able to apply the holly hack. Thanks again, if anyone is curious how i solved it check this out....http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/threepxtest.html
