Hi guys,
please help me with this problem which is driving me mad!
I have prepeared a simplified version of the page at this URL: http://www.accademiainternazionalediscacchi.com/tests/
Look it with Ffox first. Nice uh? Hehe just joking 
Anyway, now that you've seen the good version, take a look with IE7. The white div doesn't really expand as I'd like it to do.
Any ideas?
The CSS file is called common.css, it's in the same directory.
Thanks!!

Start by getting your html

Start by getting your html valid. There is no CSS standard for invalid html.

ok sorry i forgot a few tags without closing them.
But they were
e tags, so it wasn't really important for the layout.
Now it's validated.

What few shreds I have left of professional pride would not let me post code here with any errors at all, particularly when validating is so easy.
I suspect you need to read up on how enclosing floats is supposed to work - IE does this wrong.
Otherwise try making your question a little clearer. I'm not really sure what you want from your posts and the page doesn't help much, at least it doesn't help me much.
Your code as posted is very unsemantic. What are those BR's for anyway? CSS makes them unecessary and pointless in this context.
