IE7 Problem

    My website seems to work fine in IE6, but in IE7 and Firefox there's a problem:

    IE7: The footer doesn't fit the width of the screen, and it seems to leave a gap after the footer.
    FF: The footer seems to have disappeared and the page just stops. The tabs at the top are mucked up.

    Anyway to fix it?

    Well, let's start from the top and see what we see - these are just things wrong or unneeded, any number of things could be causing your 'issue'

    Start with the validation errors - 8 of them.

    HTML before you open your body tag... Which is two of the errors in one problem.

    Use of the same ID more than once. ID's are supposed to be unique, you need it more than once that's what a class is for.

    HTML after you close the body tag - again invalid.

    Ok, now to see what I can see in the code.

    link to a profile but then not using any metas defined there, so axe that.

    OH, Turdpress, there's half the problem right there.

    Twice the needed wrappers in the header - it's a header should be a header TAG.

    Typical of most wordpress templates, buggier than a swamp in June - from where I'm sitting the only 'fix' is to chuck it all and start over... the HTML is non semantic mush and even fixing those problems above won't even START to address the problems.

    Wordpress, eh Jason? Oh the humanity of the crap people pass off as WordPress templates. Makes such a wonderful (ok, mostly wonderful) CMS look like garbage.

    Sneakynarb, do you know how to manually edit a WordPress theme, or are you going to need some help with it (or someone to walk you through it who knows what the bloody hell they're doing)? If it's the latter, I should be able to help out, provided I'm not too busy.

    Deathshadow can vouch for me on that one if needed. :)
