need someone with IE 7 to have a look at this please....

It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

if you scroll part way down the page, you'll notice that the background color gets broken up. It didn't do this in IE 6 and doesn't do it in firefox. If I change the doctype to HTML 4.01 transitional, the background works, but other problems arise. Right now the lessor of the two evils is to leave it at XHTML 1.0 but that background problem is driving me nuts.

can anyone spot what the problem might be?

yeah I know it doesn't validate, but the validation problems don't really lead me toward the solution.

The first thing I notice by looking at it is that your copyright footer doesn't show up in IE7 which to me means

<div class="mmhide_clear">

seems to be the culprit as it isn't clearing to the bottom as it seems to be desired.

As for other insight, why can't everyone just follow damn W3C browser standards! :evil:
