how do i keep my navigation div inside my container div.
i want my nav to appear like my homepage( http://ap-gfx.com )but its appearing like http://ap-gfx.com/article/id/2

Any ideas?

That's not your only problem. In Firefox the center section is NOT containing the articles - classic indication of not properly clearing your floats.

So how do i sort the center section problem

How do i clear my floats some help would be amazing.

Clearing floats has been discussed in depth there, a search will turn up threads. Then there are the numerous stickies in the CSS forum.

I've done some searches, but the results wasnt what i was hoping for. but why should I clear floats. and back to the point of this thread I don't know if you notice the problem with the navigation seeing as your signature really hates IE but the problem is with IE it does not display the navigation properly
