Can’t get blog to load sidebar properly in Internet Explorer 6

  • I know about the sticky at the beginning of this forum, but its not working for me. I don’t have the code they talk about.

    My side panel only starts loading at the end of the windows in Internet Explorer 6. How can I fix this? I really need this to work.

    Thanks.

  • Hi You will need to set up some IE6 specific CSS. IE6 uses a different model for describing content block widths. Usually if you reduce the width of the content area the sidebar will pop back into place. Start with a narrow width and use trial & error to see how wide you can leave it before the sidebar pops under again.

    The quick and dirty solution uses the star html hack. Put a line of code at the end of your stylesheet. Only the IE6 browser will see this CSS as applicable.

    Find the id of your content area Div. If its id=”content” and the width is 600px, start with 550

    * html #content {width: 550px; }

    This won’t fix the problem in every single theme because sometimes something other than content width is causing the problem, but it works in the majority of cases. If not your best bet is post a URL
