Wrapper isn't wrapping in Firefox

[Ed Jay]

The page at <http://www.edbjay.com/ver4.htmlseems to render properly in
Opera 9.2 and IE6, but has a problem with Firefox -- the outer container
doesn't wrap the entire page. I can't see why...can someone?

Floats may not be contained within containing block if the content is
greater. It will extend beyond the container. This is how floats are
supposed to work.

See the diagram "A floating image obscures borders of block boxes it
overlaps." on page:

You need to either add a clearing element after floats and before the
closing tag of the containing DIV.containerbox or your can add:

..containerbox {
overflow: auto;
}

Take care,

Thank you very much. Solved the problem.
