Margin or padding issues in some IE browsers, not others

Start by sorting out the validation errors on the site. Other than that I can’t see any major differences between the display in Firefox and the display in IE8.

Thank you, so much, for responding. I will validate again, though I’ve done so in the past.

I’m looking at the site on IE8, too, and it’s fine. But I was just sent screen shots from my clients system of the book company logos in the sidebar section BOOK IT that are pushed RIGHT so that they protrude out of the box. And the first line of text in each link in the LINKS section is also pushed like there’s a double margin. But any of these links that are long enough to have a second line of text are, like 10 pixels to the left of the first line–making it seem like they’re all indented as the first line of a paragraph.

There are other, similar issues, and my client is being really impatient. Again, the site looks fine everywhere I’ve seen it (and on the vast majority of systems that I’ve gotten screen shots of it from browsershots.com).

I’m going to go look at validating again.

Got it! Your client is running IE8 in Compatibility Mode. Or she’s using IE7 or below. Set up some conditional comment CSS for IE7 or below.

I added some special rules to ZERO padding in affected divs. It pushed some things to the edge of the div, but still left what I can only describe as an indent.

Here’s a screen shot: https://browsershots.org/screenshots/ded5744887cd5d36d806b7b6fa0368f9/ —the affected areas I’m trying to address now are the BOOK IT, LINKS and RECENT POST “widgets” in the sidebar. Any idea of what I can tell the special CSS to do?

Thanks, again, so much. I’m really desperate.

Just want to finish with a big thank you to esmi, who definitely pointed me in the right direction to get out of a lot of hot water.
