Okay, I'm <a href="http://chandelleproductions.com/new" target="_blank">really stumped</a>.

In IE: it looks perfect, except that there is a huge gap between the end of the main content area and the footer. I have no clue why. I've included heights, removed all heights, there's no bottom positioning, it doesn't make sense.

In Firefox: same thing, except on top of that, the main content area's background doesn't repeat after a certain point. Why?



/* Overall CSS */

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

body {
background: #464646 url(images/mainbg.jpg) repeat-x fixed 0 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
color: #4b4552;
font-family: georgia, garamond, times new roman, serif;
font-size: 15px;
}

div {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

img {
border: 0;
}

p {
line-height: 18px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}

Any help is much appreciated. I've tried margins, paddings, heights, nothing has worked so far. I don't know what on earth is going wrong. Thanks!!

http://chandelleproductions.com/new just produces an error or page not found or prohibited access.

http://www.chandelleproductions.com/ shows a page which looks good in IE6 and Firefox - no large gap at the bottom and the background repeats OK. Am I looking at the correct page?

I can't comment until I see the html.
