thats the web page i am working on

look at the site in IE, that is the look im going for, Firefox on the other hand doesn’t like the site. im trying to follow [this guide](http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread100443.html) for a side menu. all I need is for the div content to have a background. if I take out what the guide tells me, i don’t even see my content background, unless i manually set the height of the div. so basically i want height 100% to work.

I hope I made sense

btw click on the H080J03 link in the upper right hand corner, to see the sites real design, and tell me what you think of it.

never mind i fixed it useing the tut i had link to, turns out i wasn’t clearing some of the div’s
