Borders - cant figure it out

[ManChild]

Check out http://www.dubyadybyadybyadotcom.com/mobius in IE - note the
nice border. Check it out in Firefox -- or Mozilla and I presume
every other browser in the world and the border only coveres a minor
portion of the overall DIV.

Relevent CSS:

#page { margin: 20px auto;
width: 760px;
border: 1px solid #15447c;}

CSS URL:

http://www.dubyadubyadubyadotcom.com...stylesheet.css

I dont understand what is going on. Also if you hit the validate
button it will fail because of a nasty PHP 'bug' where it inserts
ampersands into URLs instead of & -- rest assured everything else
is valid and this oddity occured with or without a valid page.

Any help/guidence/alcohol would be appreciated.

You have set some height? Remove it.

sorry -- the URL is
http://www.dubyadubyadubyadotcom.com...module=objects

Tis a stupid URL, but it was free and I like free.

Floats are removed from flow, and thus have no effect on height of div.

So even though they are floating within a DIV and have a height its
ignored by the Firefox because of flow rules?! .........

CSS was meant to make my life easier ......... :D

What then position: relatives ?!
