after tweaking as much as possible a dating script i finally thought to ask for some help  
in FF3 the footer is wide since i use

```php
#footerMain{
    width:100%;
    height:150px;
    background:url(images/ftb.jpg) repeat-x ;
    color:#DE7F0B;
margin:0;
}
#footer{
    width:950px;
    margin:0 auto;
    height:112px;
    position:relative;
}

```

now in IE7 things are not the same. the script uses a lot of tables and also uses the \<center\> tag…the footer goes after the \</center\> or \</table\> tags are closing so it should work…unfortunately is not
