I've got a blog http://www.irishlinks.blogspot.com/. When it appears
on Firefox, the content all gets pushed to the bottom of the screen.
This problem doesnt occur in IE. I would love to fix this issue as I
think I am losing readers because of it. I don't know if you can help
me by examining the source code of the page. Let me know if you need
further info.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

I had a similar problem trying to put a cam on my blogspot (Blog) too.

Scroll down and look at exactly where the dropped content "begins"
--it's right below the vertical line that separates the two columns.
It has something to do with that. I don't have time right now to
fiddle with it. What I recommend is making another blog (not visible
inthe directory, call it "Guide to online shopping and other useful
websites in Ireland-2" Copy and paste your code to the new template.

Start fiddling with the code until you find something, ANYTHING that
affects that text, then you'll be able to figure it out.  Keep
"previewing" and then dumping edits until you get something to change.

Don't forget to keep viewing the results in BOTH browsers, which means
possibly using 2 new blogs, duplicating your efforts. You don't want
to fix Firefox at the expense of IE.

Anyway, back to my cookies in the oven! If this is still open next
week, I'll look at it a bit closer and make suggestions.

To solve your problem replace the #content on your site (line 143 on your page):

============= original =============
#content {
 width : 480px;
 margin-left : 250px;
 line-height : 1.3em;
}
====================================

with this code:

#content {
 display: table-cell;
 padding-left: 10px;
 width : 480px;
 margin-left : 240px;
 line-height : 1.3em;
}

I've added "table-cell" property, "padding" and "margin-left" was
changed to 240px, it fixes the padding from left for both IE and
Firefox.

Beside that you had an error in Opera browser also. Now it will be
fixed with my code also. Am I clear?

blogmad,

pi7dets is not an "oficial Google Answers Researcher," so you have
received your answer for free! (except for the 50 cent listing fee)

You can tell the difference between "Commenters" (like pi7dets) and
Researchers (like me) by our names. Note mine is blue and clickable,
his/hers is not.

At the bottom of this (and every page) is a link to the G. A. FAQ's,
it answers many such questions for those new to our service.
