Hey, My 1st post, ya!

anyway, i'm having a problem with my css layout.

1. In firefox my nav bar goes out of the "container div". I tryed making the width smaller but then it does not center good as there is an extra 40px on the left.

2. In ie6 my content divs clash making the left hand one drop. also the footer div is to big.

if u want to view the problems then this is the web page: http://forestlakes.50webs.com/index.htm

HTML Code:

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">

<div id="nav">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="http://www.google.ca">Calander </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.ca"> Workshop </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.msn.com"> Volunteer </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.newschoolers.com"> What's Next </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.ca"> Contact Us </a></li>
<li><a class="end" href="http://www.newschoolers.com"> Forest Lake Map </a></li>
</ul>

Remove the line marked in red:

ul.nav {
list-style-type: none;
background-color:#e8e8e8;
text-align: center;
margin-top:0px;
padding-top:5px;
padding-bottom:5px;
margin-left:-20px;
}

Switch out your #contentright with this instead:

#contentright {
width: 350px;
float: left;
clear: right;
border:2px solid #b6dc86;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
padding-top: 20px;
}

I have floated it left and cleared it right. As a last thing you might want to add some right margin to #contentleft. :)

OK, after later testing I found out that would cause some trouble. I've reworked your layout a little. Try it out.

HTML:

<body>

<div id="wrapper">

<div id="header"></div>

<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="http://www.google.ca">Calander </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.ca"> Workshop </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.msn.com"> Volunteer </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.newschoolers.com"> What's Next </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.ca"> Contact Us </a></li>
<li><a class="end" href="http://www.newschoolers.com"> Forest Lake Map </a></li>
</ul>

<div id="contentwrap">

<div id="contentleft">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
