I'm developing my first site with CSS layouts rather than tables, and having a surprising amount of trouble getting a consistent bottom margin on my page.
Under Internet Explorer, I get a bottom margin. Under Safari, I don't. This doesn't surprise me. But the really interesting/annoying thing is... on both Firefox 2.0 in Windows and 1.5 in Mac, I get no margin on loading the page, but it appears when I refresh, along with the text moving a bit.
Does anyone know how can I get the page to a) stop shifting about in Firefox and b) give me a bottom margin.
All help greatly appreciated. Pages at: http://www.rogue-net.co.uk/nick/4/projects.php http://www.rogue-net.co.uk/nick/4/stylesheet.css
Thanks.

The problem is not Firefox, it's IE. You are using an incomplete doctype which puts IE into quirks mode and the broken box model. See the sticky at the top of this board. Use html 4.01 strict to get IE to attempt standards compliance.
Well, yeah, if IE is the only one showing a margin full time, then it is clearly the one with the glitch.
But how I can I get Firefox to stop behaving oddly, and get a margin to show all the time in that and Safari? I did briefly try the strict doctype, but they weren't acting any different.
Hrm. Well the doctype seems to have fixed the problem in Firefox 2/Windows, but it's still showing no margin in Safari, and being weird in Firefox/Mac.
Guess that's close enough. Thanks.
But how I can I get Firefox to stop behaving oddly
Like I said, it isn't FF behaving oddly. Whenever you have a difference between IE and any other browser, most likely IE is in error. All versions of IE are old, buggy and non-standard. Never use it as your reference for how things should work.
Like I said, it isn't FF behaving oddly.
I would call rendering a page one way when loaded normally and a different way when refreshed quite odd behaviour :)
Is it still doing it? I don't see it.
