footer won't center
For once I can get something to work in IE but not firefox. My footer on my site www.farsideofthegalaxy.com won't center in firefox. I've tried <center> tags, <div align="center">, and several other things and can't seem to get it to work. What am I doing wrong? Usually firefox displays my code perfectly.
Also while I'm at it, any suggestions on a background color for the body of my site? I want to distinguish the width of 720px in the center from the white on either side. I'm not sure about borders, was thinking of just changing the background color. Any color suggestions? Gray? Pale green? Would appreciate the help, thanks!

There is no intent to piss you off, here. Your "footer" is not a footer. It's just an element floating at the bottom of the document. I haven't looked at centering it.
Stylistic issues, such as color or background, are strictly dependent upon the impression you wish to convey. Businesslike? High-dollar? Flashy and attention getting (easy to overdo)? Surf to sites you think are similar. Many good sites get it wrong technically, behind the scenes, but right in terms of presentation. For instance, a top-of-the-line impression is given by the Lexus site. You see what I mean. EDIT: One can't see your style sheet without going to the trouble of ripping it, but if you break the footer loose from the remainder of the presentation, you can hardly expect it to conform to those attributes.

Agent 47, in my Firefox 1.0.7, it's floating at the bottom of the document, at the left. 'Scuse the compression to approx. 20K.

Color tool
I would go with #F0FFD1 and add a 2px beval or drop shadow to the sides. Centers fine for me in firefox. EDIT: version 1.0.7 |

DaWei no offense taken, I appreciate your help. I actually figured it out since I posted this. I think my css is a little messy, because some it seems to be conflicting. I think I'm overriding my own code in some instances. My "footer" is centered now, but still need background color. Any suggestions?
