Div getting pushed to the bottom of the page

Hi All,

I've got a site with left sidebar, center content and right sidebar. The right sidebar is getting pushed to the bottom of the page and I can't figure out why. Also, I can't get it recreate on my computer. I only know about it because I got a phone call from my boss.

The site is www.appcraver.com. I ran it through at browsershots and got a bunch of screenshots from different browser set-ups. It seems to display incorrectly on most firefox set-ups (except mine which is Mac 10.5/firefox 3). You can see the screenshots at https://browsershots.org/http://www.appcraver.com/

Also I ran the code through the w3 validator. There's a few minor errors -- 23 html and 3 css -- but nothing that should interfere with the right sidebar.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated — I'm starting to go cross-eyed from looking for answers!

While it is highly unlikely to resolve all the issues you face, validating the markup may provide the first step necessary to consider deeper cross-browser issues.

Or will it?

I don't think it will. Most of the errors are caused by missing "alt" tags and incorrect [HTML]<br> instead of <br />[/HTML] formatting. But I can't change this because it is part if a plugin. Neither of these should mess with the right sidebar.

There are a few errors for "XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: br line XXX and div" but I'm not sure what that means.

I only get the float drop in Mac OS X 10.4.11 in the latest version of Camino. The latest versions of Mac Opera, Mac Safari, and Mac FF all seem alright, as does XP IE/7 and IE/6.0.

Tidy Online [1] is helpful in pointing out and correcting sloppy HTML. Tiger Camino and pre FF/3.0 browsers may not be recovering from the more serious than br tag and alt tag HTML errors and warnings. Either way, it's a start toward de-bugging...

Thanks for the link to Tidy online. Every little bit helps. I'll sort through the code this afternoon.

It's good to know that at least the up-to-date browsers are displaying everything properly, but it's frustrating because I know that not everyone is good about keeping their browser version fresh. :)

Hmm. You are dropping the float in "up-to-date" Camino/1.6.3[1] in Mac OS X 10.4.11.
