 * you propably heard alot of these kind of questions, but haven’t find a decent
   answer yet. I ussually have problems with IE (alot) and hate it to be honest,
   but this never happened before when creating websites.
 * So I try to set a border (10px) around the whole website (=wrapper div)
    but 
   for some reason it workes in IE but not in FF. In FF the wrapper shows a height
   of around 20px.
 * >  body{
   >  margin: 0; height: 100%; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Sans-
   > serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; vertical-align: top; background:#
   > 000000; color: #b3b3b3; } #wrapper{ background: #000000; margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
   > height: 100%; width: 940px; padding: 10px; text-align: left; border-style: 
   > solid; border-color: #1a1a1a; border-width: 10px; } #header{ float: left; width:
   > 960px; height: 151px; margin: -10px -10px 0 -10px; background-image: url(images/
   > logo_goowik.jpg); } #menu{ float: left; width: 960px; height: 46px; margin:
   > 0 -10px 0 -10px; position: relative; } #container{ float: left; margin: 10px
   > 0 0 0; width: 583px; height: 100%; border-right: 2px dotted #1a1a1a; } .sidebar{
   > float: left; width: 345px; height: 100%; background: #000000; margin: 0 0 0
   > 10px; } #footer{ clear: both; float: left; width: 960px; margin: 10px 0 0 -
   > 10px; padding: 10px 0 0 10px; border-top: 10px solid #1a1a1a; }
 * I suppose you dont need the rest of the css.
 * Logicly this should work no? I mean the **container, header, sidebar, menu, footer**
   are set into the **“wrapper” **div . So when I say to the wrapper to set the 
   div at height 100%, it should work. But as you may have guessed by now, it doesn’t.
 * Any help ? 🙂
