    Fixed it myself.

    Had to increase one of the margins to 20 in this section of css:

    img.alignleft {
    	padding: 4px;
    	margin: 0 20px 2px 0;
    	display: inline;
    	}

    Okay, thanks again.

    Hmmm… actually, scratch that last post. I’ve updated my browser to v2.0.0.1 and still no joy.

    It occurs to me that either a) it’s just some weird glitch at my end, or b) I should’ve phrased my problem a little better, and used the word “banner” rather than “header”. At the top of my site, there ought to be a cartoonish pic of a guy’s head, next to the name of the website. I’m only seeing this banner in IE. But if that’s what you folks are seeing in FF as well (as opposed to a plain tan rectangle, which is what I’m getting), then I’ll consider this thread resolved.

    Confirmation either way would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Jose.

    Okay — thanks, guys! I’ll consider this prob resolved. By the time my site’s ready for re-launch, chances are anyone who has FF will be running a 2.x version, and the mysteries of my 1.5.0.9 glitch will be basically irrelevant.

    Haven’t altered anything since the original post… but I’m using FF 1.5.0.9.

    I’ll go upgrade, but since 1.5.0.9 came out as recently as Dec. 19, I’m wondering why it’s choking on the image. Maybe I just have a bug somewhere…

    In any event, many thanks for checking it out.

    Thanks for the suggestion, vkaryl.

    I went through my stylesheet, adjusting assorted padding settings, to see which one was the culprit. Ultimately it didn’t fix the problem, but the proces inspired me to go right through the stylesheet, systematically commenting out chunks one by one, until I found the culprit that was screwing up my footer. Weirdly, it turned out to be these lines:

    hr {
    display: none;
    }

    Go figure. So I’ve kept that commented out, and it has solved my initial footer problem, but it has also thrown a couple of other things out of whack. So I’ll tinker a bit, but from here on it seems to be pretty much under control.

    Thanks again!

    Goddamn! How dumb am I? You’re absolutely right, doodlebee. Who’da thunk <b>0.05 of an em</b> would make a difference? (Possibly everyone but me…)

    I should’ve come here about a week sooner.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Thanks for the suggestion; alas, it didn’t work. It had the effect of suddenly ignoring the list-style-type and list-style-image settings (I could fix that, though), it shrunk the font size (ditto), but didn’t “bold” the links. (The link colors remained the same, however.)

    Hmm, “display: block” doesn’t seem to make a difference.

    This isn’t a major drama — I could stick the footer on a single line and it wouldn’t really bug me. But since my original intent doesn’t seem to be working, it’s become a challenge: Man vs. Bill Gates and co.

    Removing “margin-bottom: -10px”, the extra border remains, and the footer becomes slightly taller.

    Neat!

    Thanks a bunch, I’ll get right on it.

    I’ve also just discovered 3 or 4 lines in the 2cDarkGrey stylesheet that, when deleted, seem to partially fix things up too:

    ————-
    img {
    border: #ccc 1px solid;
    padding: 3px;
    }
    ————-

    Very cool — thanks again.
