Hello;
I've edited my webpage, and it shows up fine in IE7. when i look at the page
in Firefox, the text runs over my bottom logo and on.
any idea on how to fix?
thanks

These two lines are the probable cause:

<div id="filecontent">
<div id="filecontent" style="width: 425px; height: 301px">


Remove the first line - you cannot have one id="filecontent" in any web
page.

The height attribute in the second line is wrong. Remove it.
Some browsers actually do as they are told: if you tell them to set a
height of 301px, they do! However, your content is nearer 2000px high
than 301px, so the overflow is shown overlapping the rest of the page.
Internet Explorer does not do as it is told - it attempts to do what you
might want it to do, and is thus very misleading.

You also need to set font colours for the text. My copy of FireFox is
set to show orange text where no text colour is defined in the page, and
orange on light blue is not pretty; even worse, orange on gold is
unreadable.
