Internet Explorer OK. But Firefox shows big space?!

Hey,

Can someone verify my problem please? My sales letter is showing a big space between the scroll and the logo in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer it looks fine.

Does someone see a big space (about 1 screen long) between the end of the scroll and the logo of my Ebook?

The link is here:

    I still haven't figured this out. I thought it might be a CSS style sheet that needs to have a reference made for Firefox in it, but I have no idea where to start. Dreamweaver typically embeds the style sheet in the HTML document.

    Any ideas how to go around this?

    On the other hand there might be something wrong with my browser. Can someone please check the URL I posted in the FF browser to see if there is a large space?

    Thank you

      Yes, there is a big space when viewed with Firefox.

      Your HTML is kind of klunky. I think you should consider rebuilding your page with more 'proper' HTML coding.

      For instance, there's a block of text that looks like this:

      Code:
          <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />  
  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
   <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />  
  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
      What that's doing can be better be accomplished by using suitable padding & margins.

      The page source is kind of a mess of tables where styled div's could do the job in a cleaner & more easily maintainable way.

      Sorry to not offer any fix, but any fix here would just be applying hacks to correct hacks. Might be best to start over & avoid those tables.

    I suggest you remove the:

    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>

    Bit in the middle!

      Ok, so not use tables. They're really the only way I've been able to keep my text centered in the middle.

      That will give me something to research though. Thanks.

    CSS is the way forward.

    If you create the following in your CSS file:

    #nameofdiv
    {
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
    }

    and in the html

    <div id="nameofdiv">

    ...content here

    </div>

    Any content within the div tags will be centered to the page.

    Add a "width=700px;" or whatever value you like to control the div width as you would a table.

    Let me know if I can be of more help.
