Ok having got my page to work with its layout correctly, I now have found an infuriating glitch in the master plan.
I have selected for a footer bar that runs right across the screen to clear two other divisions that are above it as they were wrecking it's style.
In IE and Opera there is a lovely gap between the two divs above and the footer, whereas in FF there is no gap! If I put in a top margin to the footer bar I can rectify this, however the space that this produces is then displayed in IE/Opera and then the gap starts to get ridiculously big.
IS there any way to make the top margin only appear in FF and not in the others.
