    So I am currently working on this site: https://www.thatisjustawesome.com/gate

    It all works just fine in Safari and Firefox (heavenly glow), but for some reason, IE doesn’t like my siderbar and send the content down by about 100px.

    Any ideas why? It’s probably really simple and I’m just being dull.

  • Hi,
    Quick idea for you… I think your <H2> is being treated as a “solid”, so to speak. If so, it’s actually quite wide and is bleeding into #content. This is invisible to the eye. The other browsers may have “thought” of this, and don’t do that.

    Something you can try… making that <H2> less solid. Note the “display” line below.

    #sidebar h2 {
    color:#FFFFFF;
    display:inline;

    Good luck, D

    Thanks, but that didn’t work.

    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    @sambollall but 4 errors fixed and I don’t understand what those remaining 4 mean.

    Had you thought that this might fix things?

    You are missing a </div>

    your <div id="wrap"> is never closed

    put the closing div where it belongs (probably right above </body>

    But possible above the opening of your footer? I dunno if the footer is supposed to be in the wrap or not…. either way….its gotta go somewhere!

    that may fix things…..

    @rvoodoo – I put that back in – got a bit carried away cleaning up messay code this afternoon! Still no joy in IE. Displays fine in most browsers – it’s just IE.

    To help anyone see, I changed the background color of my sidebar to 000.

    I should just mention that I also added a Conditional Stylesheet for IE a la Esmi

    Any more ideas anyone? Thanks,
    Marc

    Oh my GOSH! I have just fixed it… three days of looking for the problem and it was the content’s padding-left pushing it down.

    This is why people should use a browser other than IE though.

    Thanks for all your help,
    Marc
