[whisper]just getting into web standards:)[/whisper]  
I’m encountering some problems while creating [this](http://www.eclipseprint.com/fullriver) site, hopefully someone can lend their expertise.

1. Color discrepancies. Firefox is the only browser Ive tested this on where this isn’t an issue. However, in other browsers there is a huge difference in color between an image’s color and the body’s bgcolor set via CSS, even though I use the exact hexadecimal color code for each. If you look at the side gradients you’ll see what I mean.

2. On [this page](http://www.eclipseprint.com/fullriver/whatmakes.html), the text within the div class “content” 's height extends the page’s height. The two outer div’s “left” and “right” (gradients) are set to 100% height, but do not stretch the entire page like they should.

Hope I made sense. Any help would be appreciated!🙂
