Ok i decided to make a really easy layout for practise and sliced it up and then started to mess around in Dreamweaver. Now i managed to get the Very basic layout looking how i want it

http://www.shawn.host4free.info/index.php

but in IE looks fine and Fireworks the content box is over to the right anyone care to tell me where i went wrong ?

Also another silly question i want to bring the bottom bar closer to the content box so i dont have to scroll to see it how would i acheive this?

Thanks

first off, as bad as this sounds...re code your website. only this time, code for firefox, dont open IE. i mean it . code for firefox. when you get done with that, and it looks pretty good, open IE. you will find it easier to fix IE errors that firefox. firefox doesnt ahve many bugs with css and html. so if you code for firefox, then you can go through and find the real reasons why if doesnt work in IE...trust me, coding this way is much easier.

thanks i will bear that in mind next time
