All, I started a different post last night on this problem before I saw this one. Today I solved my particular situation. I’ll post below the solution that I just posted over on my own thread. I hope this helps some of you.
Hey, I solved my problem. Just to be sure it wasn’t URLs that were too long, or anything else that IE interpreted as too long, I took out all the content, and the coding that generated the content, in my posts and sidebar, so they rendered completely void of text. And IE STILL pushed the sidebar below the posts. (I know this because I had back-colored the posts and sidebar for testing.) So it’s looking like a pure spacing issue.
I expanded my page width, and the sidebar popped into place. Again, looking like a pure spacing issue. Returned to the original page width and started shaving pixels off of the narrowcolumn and the sidebar, and the sidebar popped into place.
Summary: In Firefox, narrowcolumn width of 600px + sidebar width of 200px = page width of 800px. But in IE, narrowcolumn width of 560px + sidebar width of 197px = page width of 800px. Must be MS Math.
Obviously, if I were relying on background-colors for my posts and sidebar, these colors would not now quite cover the area they’re supposed to. But, like Kubric, I used an image to achieve the background-colors, and removed all background-color from my post and sidebar CSS settings.
I hope this helps others dealing with this problem.
