Can anyone tell me why the background color 'black' isn't being picked up on the footer of this website in IE7?

Probably the hasLayout bug - have a quick read of this:

Try adding height:1%
The footer container has all floated children inside and therefore has no height. You need to clear the floats. There are many ways to do this, ranging from adding a clearfix class to the container or simply adding overflow:hidden

It's probably worth just using the hex value #000000 instead of black, and see if that fixes the issue.
IE7 is pretty lame sometimes...

So I'm using the OOCSS media module and I'm putting a link inside of it and the last line of the link is being cut off.
To explain for anyone who doesn't know about the framework, it's simple to explain: imagine an element with overflow: hidden, and a link inside that element. That's ALL.
If I put a link inside of this element with overflow: hidden, the last text-decoration line of the link is cut off thanks to overflow: hidden. Without having to resort to padding & margin (and hopefully floats) is there anyway to compensate for that last line being cut off? Chrome seems to get this right, not sure though.
Actually there was another question very similar to this recently, you can see my answer there: Html anchor height issue with unitless line heights
So I don't think there's a solution to your question, but I wanted to note that while Chrome gets it right for overflow hidden, when you use overflow auto it's actually a problem as you'll see in that post.
try to set the line height on the text
line-height:1.5;
Here is my site:

In Firefox and IE8 it's fine, but in IE7 the down arrow image to the right of the big 'CHISTOPOL' heading is further down that it should be. It looks like its being pushed down a row, as if the 'CHISTOPOL' text is taking up 100% of the width.
Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
Not sure exactly what the problem is but it also happens in IE6.
You could apply the following CSS
#welcome-title-bottom {
position:relative;
}
And then add style="position:absolute;right:5px;" to the "arrow" anchor and remove the class="right" which fixes the problem for me in IE6.
Personally, I try to avoid using CSS float when I can due to these sorts of cross browser layout issues.
Try removing width:auto from #welcome-title-bottom a see if it helps.
Got a nearly finished coded comp here:

I realize it's not completely valid, what with my nesting of li's and ul's within A tags. Unfortunately that's the way it has to be.
My issue is with the very bottom of the footer. It has a space showing the body's background color beneath it. Tried a number of things and this space after the black link bar on the very bottom is a resistant little bugger.
Ideally the black box on the bottom should rest against the very base of the view-port, at least when the content is sufficiently long--which it is in this case.
If someone would like to take a quick peak at my source and give me some ideas I'd be very grateful. The CSS can be found here: http://clients.pixelbleed.net/biodesign/css/core.css
And, yes, I've tried removing the height:100%. Makes no difference it seems. I do believe the issue to be with the footer, as when I remove these Div's the content rests as it should. Just don't see anything in my CSS to cause the margin/spacing issue though.
Thanks so much.
if you just remove the class "group" from asufooter-wrapper, the margin disappears.
Not the best solution, but one way to fix it is apply:
#asufooter-wrapper {
overflow:hidden;
}
The problem seems to be caused by some wrapping. However, I tried editing your white-space and widths to no avail.

The top box look fine but in IE6 there is a double top and bottom border.
can somebody point me ut what i have done wrong ?
Or can anybody tell me a javascript rounded box that accept to do that effect with the border that is unequal. I have test some and they all fail, so i have done the picture round box but i like the jQuery javascript approach better.
Take a look at the JQuery's round corner plugin
And here is a demo
The default for background images to to have them repeat.
Try: background: transparent url(../images/roundbox-top.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;
Edited after comment to provide full solution:
IE6 sets the height of empty divs to your font-size if the height specified in the css is less than the font-size.
On #roundbox .top and #roundbox .bottom, put
font-size:0;
line-height:0;
That will collapse the div to the right height.
In addition to the change you've made for the bottom border, setting the font-size of the element with class "top" to 7px fixes it in my IE6.
Try using the web developer toolbar in Firefox to validate the CSS and HTML. I did a quick check and there are multiple errors in each. The rendering difference, I suspect, is because IE does not handle malformed content as well as FF. In particular, even small errors in CSS files tend to snowball in IE and melt down an otherwise good layout. Not sure if IE7 and IE8 have made any improvements in this regard.
I have setup my form using CSS.. Labels float to the left and input/textareas float to the right. They align fine.
However I recently added a block with checkbox elements. For some reason, there is a margin appearing above it which I have not been able to find the solution to fix. I suspect it is a float problem but I can not figure it out. I'm generally pretty good with CSS.
(no longer viewable)
Notice the extra space above the checkbox block... Borders are on to help you understand where the divs lie.
So where is the offending CSS code?
Thank you!
Update
It appears to be fine in Safari.
I am testing on firefox 3 on mac osx .
This is because you are using a fieldset with a legend. The legend is pushing the top margin out. Legends are very difficult to style cross browser, in fact most browsers cant style them at all other than font color.
Check this link to see some research that has been done on styling legend elements (with cross browser screenshots): legend styling
I suggest you hide the legend, and include an extra label inside the fieldset for cross browser goodness.
I think its this:
.option-row input {style.css (line 562)
display:block;
float:left;
width:10%;
}
Firebug is telling me that your borders overlap. Reducing the width of that box to 8% would work, but not sure that achieves what you want?
if i'm not mistaken, your checkbox and label within the option-row class are both defined as block-level elements. try removing the display property or setting it to inline.
