After the above is fixed I want background_ft.jpg to always be at the bottom with no scroll. Since glass.jpg is behaving different in each browser the stickfooter fix I used make scrolling down the page go down too far.
If you may also check if I should change anything else in my code or how I could do things better.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

[b]Systems!" />[/b]I have placed in bold something that I question in your header code. It could be whatever this is, might be throwing off your page a bit.
If you could explain this and why you put this here, or take it out to test and see if this is an issue, then report back and let us know.
4~css!
I have fixed all the issues except sticking the footer to the bottom of the bage with no scroll bar. The sticky footer fix creates way too much scrolling then needed. Can this be achieved?
Sometimes it can be achieved with negative margins.
I don't see how the footer push accomplishes anything.
All that you have in there is the size of the footer. This does nothing to place the footer if this is what you are trying to accomplish.
It is great to hear that you have fixed the other issues. If you could post what you did to fix them, it could help others who have had the same issues and are searching for an answer to help them out. (just a suggestion) ;)

/* Tips for sidebars:
1. Since we are working in percentages, it's best not to use side padding on the sidebars. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".thrColLiqHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
3. Since Explorer calculates widths after the parent element is rendered, you may occasionally run into unexplained bugs with percentage-based columns. If you need more predictable results, you may choose to change to pixel sized columns.

1. the space between the mainContent and sidebars is created with the left and right margins on the mainContent div.
2. to avoid float drop at a supported minimum 800 x 600 resolution, elements within the mainContent div should be 300px or smaller (this includes images).
3. in the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs.
