Hey MR Folks,

So I work for a site, Hogwartsradio.com , and IE is giving me a crapload of trouble with a new design. I didn't code this, but my boss is asking me to see if I can fix it up.

The problem is in IE 4.01 - 6, all the content is all moving below the sidebar, you can see this from a few browsershots at http://browsershots.org/http://www.hogwartsradio.com/

I can even dream what's going on with IE 4.01, I'm more concerned with the others. Any ideas? We're using wordpress.

Thanks!

ummm a REAL link would be the only way to help so that someone can look at the source code.. With that the only thing I can guess is going on is that you are missing a closing <tr> or <div>

Some browsers will just assume that you MEANT to close it if you have </tr and you forgot the > but others will not

I think that might be your biggest issue.. btu then again, a screen shot isnt telling me much other than you are missing something somehwere

Read his first sentence again. ;)

Here's the quickest way to fix:
Code:
#wrapper {
 position: relative; /*new*/
 ...
}
#wrap_right{
/*float: right; */ /*delete this line*/
position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; /*new*/
...
}
This at least was working in IE6 and FF3. The new design looks pretty good. I remember the old one. One observation, I noticed the heading links were different colors in FF/IE. Firefox shows them as blue, but IE as gold. Not sure which color it's suppose to be, but the blue looks better to me.

So The CSS would be...

#wrapper {
position: relative;
background-image: url('images/i_11.png');
width: 919px;
margin: auto;
display: block;

}


#wrap_right{
position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;
width: 228px;
display: block;
}

correct?
