Hey Gang!

Thankfully, this is the first time I've ever had any IE/Firefox viewing issues with my websites...but, now that it's my first, I can't figure out for the life of me what's going on and how to fix it.

Attached is a .zip file that includes a screen shot of how the page looks in Firefox, the CSS file, and the index HTML file. As you'll see, the copyright footer and the very last paragraph of the content area are sharing the same space - and I can't figure out why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Umm.. no zip file...

Thanks for the reply LadynRed. I'm not sure where the .zip file went - it definitely said it was attached! I'll try again - and it's showing me that it's attached - so hopefully it'll go through this time. Thank you!

I can't see specifically what's causing it, but you have a number of code validation issues happening.

If you go to http://validator.w3.org , you'll see them (24 in total). I'm guessing it's either a tag that isn't closed or doesn't belong.

Get your page to validate first, and then see if it solves the problem.

Very, very bad HTML.
First, use div's in the apropriate manner. Give them a name in your style sheet e.g. #divname {...} And create classes for their content rather than using <B> etc. If you use <B> use <strong> instead. Also try to use lower case only.
As Adam already mentioned, you have to close every tag. I see no sense in using <p><p>. Also, when you use <BR> do it properly : <br /> There is no <BR></BR>. You have to close tags in this order: open 1,2,3,4,5....close ....5,4,3,2,1. That's the general idea. Some tags need to be closed as soon as they end, like the image tag <img src="whatever path" />
