Created and customized the CSS layout but now only have one minor problem. There is some issues with the height property in the #wrapper class as it can not tell the the actual height (substract the height of the header and footer from the wrapper height). No need to worry about the 3 columns as it is already wrapped inside the #wrapper and their height would depend on the wrapper's height.
So, anyone know what I did wrong with the wrapper height??

So, I'm giving a 500 points for this because it is a little urgent and pretty difficult. I need this to work for IE windows and Gecko browsers.. If possible, that it work for Opera and Safari but not required.
Thanks,
