My understanding of the way browsers render the code is that IE is a more
forgiving browser and will try and figure out what you want it to do.
Firefox does what you tell it to do - right or wrong. Looks like
everything on the page is positioned absolutely with a stated height.

There is a code at the top before all the divisions but it has nothing in
it! Perhaps this is supposed to be a container for the entire thing as the
height is
<TABLE WIDTH="840" HEIGHT="12000" BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
<TR>
<TD>
<br>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

A reason to check your pages in more than one browser.
