For someone with experience this will probably take all of 5 minutes.
Here are the rules:
1. You must duplicate the layout as it appears in IE7 in Firefox. Only changes to the .css are allowed
2. You must have paypal.
3. First person to post the corrected .css below wins.
Have at it:
I am having some issues getting firefox to display pages properly. IE7 works just fine. What firefox does is it will load the page with the correct layout, etc. but you cannot click on hyperlinks or interact with the page at all. I though for sure this was an issue with some javacript I have on the page, but I have narrowed it down to one css tag.
The problem has to do with this:
float: left;
If I remove it, the page is

carni77 why have you
carni77 why have you re-posted this duplicate question?
You had a reply to the first instance that you posted, why did you not bother to follow that up and respond to the persons attempt at helping?
The help offered on that first thread was - if followed - was close to the solution required.
Please follow up your original threads and stick to that original to keep the flow going within that thread and respect the fact that someone has offered help by acknowledging it with some thanks even if not the solution. money is not the issue on this forum it is a help forum please don't offer money again as incentive to help.
P.S Posting HTML code is covered in the help instructions below posting text box and in stickies on each forum section.

No dice
That didn't work. The header and body area are still seperated by about 20 px or so in Firefox. Any other takers?

All I care about is the solution.
The money offer still stands. The "solution" on the other thread doesn't fit the parameters of what I want, which is a pure css solution. I don't have the experience to fix this problem. Why do the mods care about the money? Somebody will post the answer, the whole community benefits and you get $50 richer. No problem.

Sorry but that's the wrong response!
That soulution on the other thread, while perhaps not a total one, makes some good points that you seem to choose to ignore, and which tends to support your assertion that you have not the experience.
Sorry but I'm reluctant to help further. As for the money question what dont you understand about the nature and ethos of forums like this? but if someone wants to help you and you want to pay them that is your business and should be kept to private email off the forum.

Get your paypal invoice ready then vinhboy, you have tested it in all browsers on all platforms I trust 
Carni77 I'm still sort of waiting to hear why you felt it ok not to bother responding to your first thread after someone went to the trouble of offering some help?

When I tried that it didn't work across all browsers.
The problem is def that div though. Strip out the code and it is clearly that.
Must be a collapsing margins thing, but my brain couldn't cope.

trouble with the layout is it's predicated on a slightly unsound basis, and I'm not sure why the whole thing is wrapped in a form element but suppose there's a good reason :shrug:

seems strange, but i am with you Hugo, I am not really interested in the $50. I just wanted to help him.
the problem is a basic margin problem, which hugo has discussed before on this forum. however, the fix is not going to work if he refuses to change the html.

THAT IS AN EXCELLENT idea.
Maybe we should invite one of those PC's in the 3rd world type of charities to have a donate button for the folks that gain commercially for the help they get.

I wonder whether it would work in practise? I do sort of like the idea, it be interesting to hear other views on the subject and possible methods to choose/ agree a charity.
We'll have to wait until Tony returns and put it to him and see what he thinks/feels on the subject.
There's probably some impediment to doing it though, not thought of.

Tony works for an organisation that raises funds so disadvantaged youth can learn IT-related skills, so it sounds like something he could be interested in.

first question, do you guys get paid to be moderators?
second question, its been at least two years and you guys just thought of the donation system now? haha...
but anyways, I think its a good idea. If someone offers to donate money along with their problem, I would do a full mock and browser check it for them.

I'm sure at times a lot of us wish we did but being a mod (or a member) of a forum isn't about money, it's about being part of a community and helping others by doing what you love.
It's not like work where you may have to do things you don't like - on the internet, you're free to do as little or as much as you wish.
I love helping people I'm a mod here, a member of the PCF Forum (tech magazine) and CDG (Counter-strike forum) and it's nice to be loved.

Still Doesn't Work right
vihnboy,
I tried your code. It looks better, but the text still runs off the side under the flash and the bottom margin doesn't synch up correctly in firefox. I am sure there is a solution to this. I have put your code in use under the http://www.insignedesign.com/testcase.html so someone maybe can build on it.
The competition is still going. First one to get to the complete solution wins.

donations to worthwhile charities
As a struggling neophyte on css, I assure you members that there are not enough words to express my appreciation for all the help I have received.
Trying to figure out "why" the "what" works is sometimes a mystery, but your providing the "what works" is 80% of the battle. Trust me, working from practice to theory is much, much easier for me than working from theory to practice. Maybe it wouldn't be if I knew more of the theory, but maybe in 3+ decades I'll get there.
Anyway, I applaud you for working for the joy of spreading knowledge of css.
To conclude, I really endorse the idea of having a link to a moderately long list of your favorite charities. Maybe the users of this forum would not only deem fit to contribute $10 or whatever, but at the same time mention that "csscreator.com" was the source ... and maybe these charities would see fit to write you an-out-of-sight thank you letter.
Wouldn't that be awesome!

It's a great idea in theory, how practical it would be to implement and control would be another matter, there are probably many problems trying to do this not obviously apparent.
One of the ways of course to show gratitude is, when willing and able, to return the favour as it were and help others, also keeping forums fresh and vibrant
