I have a page with a containing div that has borders set for left and
right. the containing div contains more divs somewhat like this:

div id=mainContainer
    div id=leftColumn
        div
        /div
    /div
    div id=rightColumn
        div
        /div
    /div
/div

now the borders for mainContainer show up in IE, but not in firefox.
if i put a height on mainContainer the borders show up, but without a
height in the css there are no right and left borders. do i need to
set a height for mainContainer? Maybe i should just get rid of
mainContainer.

thanks,
josh

I have a vague idea what's going on, but you'll need to post a working
example so we can see exactly what the problem is.

I don't have much experience with divs or css, but it sounds like a css
problem. And I find topstyle to be a really useful tool for manipulating
css and seeing what works in various browsers.
