Trying to make the conversion from html design to css. But I seem to be coming up short. I want a two "header" "content" "right menu" "footer" layout. This is wierd. Everything seems to work fine but in IE7 it renders with the right "menu" div a bit high. And with FF 5.0 (is this latest?) it renders the "menu" div a bit low,.. any help would be great.
CSS:
body{
background-color: #A8EDF4;
}
#wrapper {
margin: auto;
width: 922px;
}
#main{
overflow: auto;
width: 100%;
height: 1000px;
}
#top{
background-color: #A8EDF4;
text-align: left;
width: 922px;
height: 50px;
margin: 0px;
}
#head{
background: url(images/temp_head.jpg);
height: 175px;
}
#main-body{
height: 350px;
background-color: #000000;
width: 662px;
float: left;
padding: 5px;
}
#right-col{
height: 350px;
width: 250px;
margin-left: 672px;
background: #CCCCCC;
}
.top-text{
padding-top: 15px;
padding-left: 5px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
}

Oh yeah and its centered,... thanks! And yeah I'm new to the forums,..
The height difference and positioning problem in both browsers can be fixed by adding padding:5px; to right-top.
Your wrapper div isn't wide enough. It produced horizontal scroll bars in both ie and firefox for me, and after I added padding to right-top, that div dropped below main-body in ie 7. When I changed the width of wrapper to 940px, everything lined up properly.
