Sidebar in IE7

  • Hi,
    I’m having a problem with my site in IE7 [there are other issues in later versions of IE] in that the sidebar is at the bottom. Not ideal!
    Searching around I see it’s a common problem but the common solutions [unless I’ve missed something – correct me if I’m wrong] aren’t applicable here.
    Any ideas? Should I actually be worrying about IE7? [When I’ve added the pages to make it a site and not a blog, there’ll be a brief blurb about visitors using modern browsers].
    Thanks
    steve

  • This kind of issue – given that your markup & CSS are valid – is best handled by Conditional_Comment_CSS.

    Thanks esmi,
    The thought of using a conditional comment for IE7 had crossed my mind but I’m struggling to find/edit the CSS to use within that conditional comment.
    I’ve tried playing with the container that contains the left and right content plus the CSS for the left content and right content [if that makes sense!]. Nothing seems to put the sidebar where it should be.
    I’m on a Mac and using Adobe Browser Lab to ‘preview’ pages in Windows browsers.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks again for replying.

    P.S. I was thinking that maybe the XHTML 1.1 doctype was throwing IE7 – that’s something I can check later.

    I’d suggest looking at margins & padding. IE7’s CSS box model is severely borked.
