Sidemenu not the same in Firefox and IE

Welcome to the MS nightmare ??
Your sidebar or the content is too wide (i.e their total width is bigger than the width of their container) so the content will push down the sidebar. Work on it in the CSS file.

Check especially margins and padding in various elements. IE does NOT get them right! Do a search in Google for “IE box model problem” – you’ll be astounded at the number of pages….

look for the “box model tweaking”.

And if you declare a XHTML 1.0 STRICT document or XHTML 1.1, at least IE 6 ist interpreting the box model right.

Yes and no. As I understand it even if the box model is being implemented correctly there is a further inconsistency in the default behavior for fixed width elements when an object exceeds the declared width. Maybe add overflow: hidden to our CSS by default for sidebars/ menus ?

Thanks everyone. I went in and tweaked the settings on the larger column for the main page and now it fits.

w00t!
