My b2evolution Version: 1.8.x

I am hoping a good CSS Samaritan & Guru can help me troubleshoot my skin. I created it a few months back and I'd hate to switch to a different one.

It works & looks great in IE, but with Firefox the skin/page is infinitely long.

I tried commenting the background picture, and some DIV Sections but the ones I removed didn't work.

You can find the skin CSS/HTML here:

Thanks in advance,

Edgar,

The first step should not be to assume CSS is at fault. Rather you should [url=http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thechristianalert.org%2Fblog%2F]fix your XHTML[/url]. You'll notice 119 errors on that page 8|

One easy step will be to not tell it your page is 1.1 Strict, unless you want to get rid of all your links that open in new windows. You can get away with target="_blank" in 1.0 Transitional, but not strict. I suspect that simple step will clear up quite a few of your errors. Not all of them by a long shot, but many of them. Quite a few look easy to fix, but fix them indeed before going after CSS to make FF look like IE.

After your XHTML validates you can look at whether or not [url=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thechristianalert.org%2Fblog%2F]your CSS validates[/url], and see what - if anything - you need to do about remaining issues.

Hi, you have some ie mac hacks with 30000px and -30000px styles. When I removed all of those the page shrunk back to the expected size in Firefox.
