Oerky, so I'm coding a site for my friend but the div for the content is too short in IE and too long in Firefox.

<html>
<head>
<title>t h e l i g h t h o u s e s t a l e</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style1.css">
</head>
<body>



<div class="header" style="WIDTH: 640px; POSITION: absolute; TOP:0px; border: #000000 2px solid;">
<img name="header.jpg" width="640" height="501" border "0" usemap="#header" alt="" />


<map name="header">
<area shape="rect" coords="132,412,211,429" href="http://freewebs.com/urlhere" target="_self" alt="">
<area shape="rect" coords="133,441,183,458" href="http://freewebs.com/urlhere" target="_self" alt="">
<area shape="rect" coords="384,412,430,430" href="http://freewebs.com/urlhere" target="_self" alt="">
<area shape="rect" coords="383,439,447,457" href="http://freewebs.com/urlhere" target="_self" alt="">
</map>

</div>
<div id="content">


<DIV id="content" style="WIDTH: 643px; POSITION: absolute; TOP:507px; border: #000000 2px solid; background-color: 006666;">

<h1>Welcome to the Lighthouses Tale...</h1>
</div>

</body>
</html>


^^^The code I'm using. Yes the site looks bad now but I'll get around to fixing the design aspects once I finally fix this one error. It's been driving me insane.

Don't know if you still need help, but...

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I can see that "Welcome to the Lighthouses Tale" is too high and cut off in one of the pictures ("too short"), but I'm not sure what you mean by "too long". Could you clarify? Also, if you have/ could put a copy up on the web somewhere, that would help me troubleshoot.

IE and Firefox are not really good browsers. More and more people (especially designers) are just getting away from them and discouraging their use.

I recommend Safari and I hear Opera is good too.

Also, are you designing in Dreamweaver? Dreamweaver can do some bizarre things too, especially if you're working in layers.
