Webdesign Help

[Atomic]

I have some webspace from my ADSL ISP and have taken advantage of it by trying to get into webdesign.

I've followed a tutorial on a website to make a non fluid based website (i prefer centre based sites) and have done a very, very basic layout.

However, I have a couple of problems.

I load up my site url in IE7 and it asks me if I want to download the webpage and procedes to open up in Dreamweaver (I know I should be using notepad but for me it's easier to learn this way). In Firefox however the page does load, but has a few errors on it.

I look at the site in Dreamweaver and things look connected, but when the site is opened up there seems to be a gap between the header and nav bar (the shiny thing). This is just background of the container DIV and not sure how to fix that, and below the footer seems to be some green colour that I used as a background colour in the footer div, but that's being seen well below the footer. You will see if you view the site.

...And yes the site is very ruff...Just wanted to see if I could get a few bits to work and test before I go further.

I don't know if some one could check the code and make sure things are okay, or just give me tips.

Thanks

ensure you have this at the top of your CSS

html, body {
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}

Ensures that all padding and margins are set to 0 unless you set them, stops any browsers from naffing things up from the start by padding things out that arent meant to have any!
Ill have a gander at everything once Im back in osx to see if I can help

Thanks for your help. I will put that code in when I get home from work tonight.

I've just been on the Internet on IE6 and the page loads as I expect it to be. So, must be some sort of Firefox issue, and will try that code when I get hope tonight.

Hello, I'm home now and I've put that snippet of code in the CSS.

However, I've still got the same problem with Firefox. However, today it is rendering in IE& perfectly well as I intended to do.

I don't know what's wrong :/
