Before you open any templates, make sure you've gone in & turned off the "Apply automatic formatting" option.
If you don't, it will wreck your doctype & add extra spaces where you do not want them. And then you will cry.
Huzzah! The pages work!
The key to removing the main content's overlap of the footer:
Make sure the page has the proper XHTML doctype and add a clearing break in here:
<!--END MAIN CONTENT --><br class="clearfloat" />
</div><!--END BODY CONTAINER -->
We launched the FSCN website last week & things promptly broke. The right column was too narrow in IE & the center column often overlaps the footer in Firefox.
It's frustrating, since these were not issues when we used the exact same files on the dev server.
Things I have figured out today that have squashed the IE problems:
Changed the doctype for all pages to XHTML in the templates.
Went to View > Customize > Source View & unchecked "Apply automatic formatting"
Then deleted ALL extra space in the HTML in the header & breadcrumb area. Any black space in the HTML is getting included as space by IE, even though it should technically ignore it.
Any image uploaded into UMContent seems to be converted to a .jpg, even if it is uploaded as a .gif. This can wreak havoc with your page if you don't remember to change the .gif to .jpg in your stylesheets.
