My blog has a sidebar that looks ok in Firefox, but viewed in IE the sidebar content is pushed down 1.000 feet. WTF? Any hints appreciated.
mr. marx, I haven't even looked at it, but try changing your widths. For example, if you have a 1 pixel vertical border, you might want to increase the horizontal size of that div by one or two pixels.
Sorry if this is completely unhelpful, but it's way late... I'll have a look in the morning.
I should say that I am a code retard, I don't have the slightest idea of what is what, I usually fix things by trial&error but this I haven't figured out.
Most likely, some element on your page is too wide for the page.
Since you don't have any graphics, it's likely that the combined size of the padding on the left, the middle column with the content, and the sidebar are wider than the page itself. You can change that in your style sheet by specifying the width of each of those three elements.
Here are some wordpress support threads that deal with that topic.
Also, when I look at your site in FireFox, I don't see your sidebar. All I see is an error message that says "XML error: undefined entity at line 9." Same in IE, actually.
thanks mudpuppie, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. crap. my problem hasn't always been, even, according to a friend it was fine just 2 weeks ago. I hate code.
