I was able to get things working, pretty much - the border shows in both IE and Firefox, and the text all fits. I’m going to continue fiddling with it to try and get the text layout to look better in both FF and IE, but in the meanwhile I’m happy.

Again, thank you!

Getting rid of the left padding on .narrowcolumn looks like it will just make the text shift left; you could give the divs inside .narrowcolumn all left margins instead, but there’s no real reason to change that if it’s working.

You may end up having to change some padding/margin widths elsewhere but your page doesn’t add up to too many pixels wide yet, so maybe not.

Anyway, try the following and you should see what I mean:

.narrowcolumn {
float: left;
padding: 0 0 20px 0px;
margin: 0px 0 0 20px;
width: 560px;
}
