column width problems.

Hi,

im noob enough to using css. im developing a site and in some parts i have a few problems...

if you look at the page below there is a bug. The columns squash over when there is no lines of text wide enough to stretch the page out.

http://hospicefoundation.biznetserve...asp?news_id=97

again, a similar problem on the next page. compare the difference between IE and firefox on the next page...

http://hospicefoundation.biznetserve...ch.asp?id1=298

in IE, because the text is short, all the right column items move over to the left a little, and then this pushes the map image in the middle down underneath them.

so, i added in a 1px high x 395px long image just above the breadcrumb and got this...

http://hospicefoundation.biznetserve...h.asp1?id1=298

and when i moved this spacer image to the bottom of the page i got this...

http://hospicefoundation.biznetserve...h.asp2?id1=298

in the link above, it appears that the white centre colum spaced out to the correct width, but it didnt push everything else over !

any ideas ? should i give some sort of style to my column width image ?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Brian.

You've got a lot of invalid code in there including <noindex> tags - get rid of all that first and then we can have a look.

ok. ill have a look at it tonight. ill remove the noindex tags. what else did you notice as being bad - anything in particular ?

thanks for your reply.

The <noindex> are the main ones but there's an extra </form> in there too.
