I'm having a display issue between Firefox and IE when working with floats. I've looked into the bugs with IE but I cannot figure it out why this will not work, any help would be greatly welcomed! Below is some of the code. If you would like to view the site please head to http://survey.gr-webdesigns.com/

HTML Below:


<div id=\"site-outline\">
<div id=\"date-outline\"><?php echo date('D j M Y',time()); ?></div>
<div id=\"content-main-outline\">
<div id=\"top-middle-outline\">Welcome!</div>
<div id=\"content-top-outline\"></div>
<div id=\"content-middle-outline\">
<div id=\"news-outline\">
<div id=\"news-top-outline\"></div>
<div id=\"news-middle-outline\"></div>
<div id=\"news-bottom-outline\"></div>
</div>
<div id=\"content-outline\">
</div>
<div class=\"clear\"></div>
</div>
<div id=\"content-bottom-outline\"></div>
</div>
</div>

Could you describe in more detail what the problem is? I see some weird stuff going on, but it's best to hear exactly what you want to be happening in order to trouble shoot. My guess is you need to be clearing the floats in some slightly different places than you currently are.
