IE Issue – Content Under Sidebars (assuming its a margin issue?)

  • Hello all-

    https://pcs.myownsiteonline.com (this is just the build URL)

    Big site – usinging modified version of CSS Freak.

    Typical stuff here, site looks great in FF, Safari, and the left column containing posts/pages gets tossed under the right sidebars in IE. I KNOW that a.) I’m not a great CSS whiz, b.) there ARE probably many validation errors as such, c.) but also certainly I’m not a newbie so I can figure this out eventually.

    I’m starting with the margins and seeing if I can fix these problems. If anyone else has any advice to speed up the process, that would be awesome.

    Best regards.

    I validated the CSS online and fixed most the problems it came back with, additionally, I’ve isolated a piece of strange code in the CSS which I can create the same IE error in FF:

    CURRENTLY READS:
    }
    #sidebar {
    float: right;
    width: 160px;
    padding-right: 2px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
    border-left-width: 1px;
    border-left-style: dotted;
    border-top-color: #737145;
    }

    }
    #dynamic_sidebar {
    float: right;
    padding-right: 0px;
    padding-left: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
    width: 160px;
    border-left-width: 1px;
    border-left-style: dotted;
    border-top-color: #737145;
    }
    #post {
    float: left;
    width: 470px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    padding-bottom: 35px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    padding-right: 0px;

    You’ll notice the double “}” closing the sidebar attributes. If you REMOVE the redundant “}”, the page is rendered in FF the same way it “bugs out” in IE.

    In other words, FF/Safari/and company NEED the redundant “}” to render the page as intended.

    Removing the double attribute does not fix the problem in IE.

    Am I insane? Am I really just a total hack?
