  Hey all

  OK, I’ve been having a nightmare with IE.

  I got my blog to look just how I want it, and then I realised (after ages!) that in IE the sidebar is floating on top of the content! In my CSS, I have commanded the sidebar to float to the right. Firefox seems to read this OK and puts it in the right place – not on top of the text.

  Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could fix this for my IE readers?

  my blog is http://inbalance.wordpress.com

  Thank you!

  Dan

  I’m not a CSS guru, but I know different versions of IE display differently. What version are you seeing the problem on?

  I checked using IE7 and you’re right. However, IMO the likelihood that a css pro will drop in on Christmas Eve to give you a hand with this is very low.

  Here’s a link that you will find useful http://browsershots.org/ and it will take about 20-44 minutes to get your reports back so you can rectify your problem.

  in the end i just reverted to a (only very minorly modified) standard theme that i like. IE just drove me up the wall!
