I’m just testing the layout so far but I posted it at http://www.wenclif.com so you can take a look. It looks like a mess in everything but Safari.

Set your outermost 100% width horizontal slices to float left. Remove the clear statements from your innermost boxes (navigation and content) but keep the floats there. In place of the spacer div at the bottom, set either the top margin of the footer or the bottom margin of your middle slice to the same dimension (24px, I think). That did the trick here when I did it in a text editor, at least for FF2.

Thanks Walter. It worked. I have no idea why it worked, but it did. You’re the best.

If you couldn’t float the parent to clear its children, then you can add a break or a rule or some other block-level tag after the last floated element, and that will fix it as well.

Walter can you revise your example to show this break or rule addition. I am trying to add a border to the ‘center’ item but on preview the border doesn’t enclose the ‘nav’ and ‘body’ items and I cannot seem to add these in the right place.

Hmmm. Do you still have my original there? I just added a black rule
to the centered middle element (item4) and it worked just fine. Try
opening up my original first and add the border, then look at it in
page view and compare with your construction and see if you can spot
any differences.

No - I gave the divs ‘meaningful’ names when I opened originally so (item4) is gone!
