All text pushed to the left

  • Hi

    I have an odd problem, not quite ssure how to seach the forum to see if others have the issue (there’s no search functoin on the forum?)

    My WP website is here: Website All Widgets are down the right hand side with menus at the top and pages are in the main sectoin on the left

    However, one or two users, including a PC I have access to have all the widget text (actually everything under the menu section) all pushed over to the left hand side.
    I have a screen shot here: Screenshot

    Anyone know of this, and how to fix it?

    On same PC’s website appears OK within Firefox and Opera, it’s just IE8

    Start by sorting out the markup errors. You have missing closing tags.

    If you continue to have problems with IE, consider conditional comment CSS

    Well, I’m a little confused by this. I could maybe accept that it’s unclosed tags BUT for the following:
    a) The reported unclosed tags that the validator website reports are sidebar widgets, so WordPress generated them. I don’t know how they could be missed out by ME! I don’t know how I would correct them either – would I have to hack some pages generated by WP/widgets?

    b) When I compare what the validator says against what I can see by using the browsers view source option there is a discrepancy. I.E. Internet Explorer shows the tags as closed.
    See this:
    First error:

    Line 287, Column 68: end tag for "ul" which is not finished…t-blockcontent-body">
<ul id="recentcomments"></ul		<div class="cleared"></div>

    IE source view:
    <div class="art-blockcontent-body"><ul id="recentcomments"></ul> <div class="cleared"></div>
    Second error:
    Line 396, Column 81: duplicate specification of attribute "class"…class="art-button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Log In" class=button" />
    IE Source view:
    <input class="art-button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Log In" class="button" />

    Third error:

    Line 428, Column 16: end tag for "tr" which is not finished
<thead><tr></tr</thead>

    IE Source view:
    <thead><tr></tr></thead>

    So, where to go?!

    The reported unclosed tags that the validator website reports are sidebar widgets, so WordPress generated them.

    No. The markup for them is generated via your current theme.

    OK, I understand, BUT, as I used Artisteer to design my Theme, I don’t know how to go about resolving the problem.

    Can someone please steer me in the right direction (files I might need to edit/changes I may need to make in these files)

    Many thanks esmi

    Well !

    I looked at the validation page to see what might be tripping it up, and took out 2 widgets.

    The main page now passes validation, but the text is still doing the same as the original post I made!

    HELP!!
