Your missing a closing div tag.

Usually putting a <br clear="all" /> right before the closing tag would bring the bottom of divs to where you want.

In your CSS, if you replace

border-bottom:1;

border-bottom-color:Navy;

border-bottom-style:solid;

border-bottom-width:1px;

border-left:1;

border-left-color:Navy;

border-left-style:solid;

border-left-width:1px;

border-right:1;

border-right-color:Navy;

border-right-style:solid;

border-right-width:1px;

border-top:1;

border-top-color:Navy;

border-top-style:solid;

border-top-width:1px;

with

border:1px solid navy;

you can achive the same thing.

Hope this helps!

So <br clear="all" /> closes every open DIV?

No, clear="all" (or, more appropriately, in the css - "clear:both;") ends the effect of any previous floats.

this does two things -

1) pushes the following content below the level of any floating items preceeding it, and

2) forces a containing element to stretch to encompass any floating elements within it.

There is a good reason for it *not* to stretch without the clear, and and good article was posted discussing it a while back....my memory escapes me at the moment though...
If I find it I'll drop a link.

thanks for the help i will try it as soon as i have time

hmmm somehow this didn't realy work or am i still doing somthing wrong?

atleast i got my html and css validated
