if you look at http://dev.synergyprod.com/behindthework/ (in safari) you will see that the footer is all jacked up and is overlapping the content.

Any ideas?

could the problem be that it is a ascx file.. i believe it needs to be compiled.. but I am new to asp and no absolutely nothing about compiling.

TIA

It looks messed up on Firefox 0.9.2.under Windows 2000 also. The "Knowledge Base" section and its text are overtop the menu at the bottom of the screen.

It's doubtful that a display issue that varies across browsers is related to a server-side language like ASP. Have you checked the CSS and HTML for validity?

It works in some browsers because some browsers are very tolerant. Rower is right - if you run this through a validator, you'll find a quite a few problems. The most glaring is that there are multiple <body> tags. Are you generating multiple <body> tags in your ASP code?

There also looks to be something odd going on with how the page is output. I noticed in the META tags that in FireFox this line (which has an overabundance of quotes):

<META NAME="publisher" CONTENT=""www.synergyprod.com"">

has the value for CONTENT outside of the quotes.
