Cross browser capatibility problem between I.E and Firefox

I can't figure out what is wrong with my code that does not allow my wrapper ID to expand the length of the page in Firefox. The page in question is http://www.standrewcarolstream.org/immigration.html

Can someone take a look and point me in the direction of the problem. You can see in I.E my table embedded in a <DIV> tag expands all the way down with the bg wrapper image. In firefox it does not. Not sure if its a positioning issue, nested tag issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Just checked your page in FF 2.0.0.6 (the latest version as far as I know) - background is ok. The same as in IE 7.
Probably you have to update your FF.

In any case, you can try another way - define background image for Body:
Code:
BODY {background:#E6DDD4 url('images/bg_wrapper.gif') repeat-y center;}

Nothing to do with positioning.

I see nothing wrong in FF 2.0.0.6 either.

Put a proper DOCTYPE on your pages if you want a more consistent rendering of your code.

Dump the tables for layout. It always escapes me why people bother to use divs if they're going to resort to tables anyway.

You can use an unordered list for your menu - no messy DW script - you can do it with CSS.

Thank you for the tips. Actually by the time I posted this question I came across the issue. I didn't define width for my #wrapper ID in my CSS, only height and Firefox apparently didn't like it. I removed height and just added width attribute and it was fine. I'm not a big javascript person and wanted to easy had rollovers to my menu so that is why I decided to use DW. I'll also take the advice of getting rid of tables. I'm pretty good at laying out with tables and that's why I still utilize them. It just seems like I have more issues, myself, when using scrictly <div>.
