IE not displaying border

[TobyA]

Hi,

I'm working on this site:-

http://www.lothburyuk.com/dev/

I had a problem with the lloyds div (grey background) expanding out the bottom of the container DIV, which caused the borders to stop halfway down the page.

I got round this by placing a <br clear:"both" /> in the content DIV. This seems to work for FF, but in IE there are still gaps in the border.

I've seen another technique for doing this, but can't remember where. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot,
Toby

I got round this by placing a <br clear:"both" /> in the content DIV.

That's not valid XHTML, so browsers can be expected to do different things with it. Try this instead:

<br style="clear:both" />

There are a few other validation errors in there too, though most of them are unencoded ampersands which it may not be in your power to fix.

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for your post.

I've made that change but the borders are still broken in IE :-(

Pretty much all the remaining validation errors are coming from the RSS feed, which obviously I have no control over...
