Many thanks for your help. And thanks to others for their suggestions too.
But I still don't understand one particular thing, and I must be
fundamentally misunderstanding something! Surely the </div> you have
highlighted only closes the #mainNav div. Doesn't the overall #wrapper
need a closing </div> too? I've looked over my html many times. I have
an overall wrapper div and within that a number of divs and all have
their opening and closing tags.
I've tried removing the final </div> which I had assumed was the closing
</div> for the wrapper. Nothing happens - so I really must be doing
something wrong.
I've got:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content">........................
<div class="imagecaption"></div>
</div>..............................(closes content)
<ul id="mainNav"></div>
</div>..........(closes wrapper??)
The strange thing is, everything is centred and where it should be. So
the wrapper is working and holding things in place Only I can't put a
border around the #wrapper in FF. In Firefox a border around the
#wrapper just wraps around the #header.But the border does show up in IE?
Again, any explanations of this would be very welcome.
