I saw that.
I have a terrible CSS problem that I am sure has a very simple and obvious answer.

.thrColLiqHdr #mainContent {
	height: 650px;
	padding-right: 15px;
	padding-left: 15px;
	display: block;
}

A DIV uses the above. It has a floating DIV either side of it. For some reason, the padding on mainContent is ignored in both FF and IE.

WHY? It's fucking retarded. It shows correctly if I use my FF IE plugin.

haha, you're doing three-column liquid layout
fuck that, it's for dullards who worry about XHTML compliance

PUT IT IN A TABLE AND STOP BEING A HTML NERD

I'm not worried about compliance you big mess.
It happens to suit my purposes.

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHY.

every time I start on that 3 column CSS rubbish I end up scrapping it, it's more trouble than it's worth
but I'm bored so if you want to zip up some html and css I'll take a look at it for you

or
you could try putting a div with 15px padding and 650px height inside #mainContent

that's the lazy way to fix it

Yeah, but I found another way!
I just gave a margin to the two floating DIVs either side instead. FIXED.
