Widgets moving below posts in IE

  • Hi there,

    I’ve already found a lot of posts on this topic that are either unresolved or say “just don’t use IE.” As much as I stick to that rule for myself, I can’t guarantee it for clients!

    I’m using a theme called “Political Blog Blue 1” by 1800blogger. In IE only, the widgets in the right-hand sidebar shift below the posts content. It only happens on my main index page, not on any of the other static pages. It is not due to strange html formatting coming from pasting content from Word. The W3 validator finds eight errors but none of them have anything to do with the page structure.

    There must be an answer… undying thanks!!

    are you saying that the original theme does this?

    if it is due to any modifications, which you may have made, then a link to your site would be useful.

    I did do plenty of modification in the editor… but I ran the theme on a separate account with no mods and it did the same exact thing with the widgets.

    Thanks.

    your theme displays pretty much like the original theme’s demo;

    but with both, even in IE7, i can’t see any difference to firefox, and the widgets are all nicely, normally arranged.

    without being able to reproduce the problem, unfortunately, i can’t make any suggestions towards a solution.

    Huh. That’s strange. I tried it on two different computers, and both shoved the widgets down. Whenever I make more posts, the widgets keep moving down. Your view gives me hope, but in a further confusing way! But thanks for looking!

    Using IE 8, I saw what you meant about the right sidebar elements being low on the page. They weren’t centered on the page, but they were low on the right side.

    Before I could study the page, it refreshed with a message about compatibility view. Once the page refreshed, the sidebar elements moved to the top of the sidebar and everything looks good.

    I’m sure someone here will know what to do with that compatibility view message.

    Sorry I couldn’t help more.

    you need to adjust the width of the sidebar other than the widget. decrease it. Use firebug for IE.
