Fine in Firefox/Safari but messy in IE6

The exact same problem i have with my theme, the sidebar does not start until the end of the page in IE6, im guessing there is a missing tag somewhere that IE6 needs, but other browsers don’t.

I’ll get back to you if i manage to figure it out, it seems to be a universal problem for more then 1 theme.

Brilliant mate, thanks. I’ll let you know if I find anything too.

Right, update:

I’ve put my CSS through a validator website.

It found errors, corrected them, and I update the .css file. It is now not reporting any errors.

You can see here:

However the sidebar misalignment still remains in IE6. I have a hunch that this is down to <h tags, but havee no idea what needs changing.

Any ideas?

IE6 is always a problem because its CSS Box Model is badly broken. If a sidebar is dropping down below the page content, you may need to reduce the width of the sidebar (sometimes quite significantly) before the display in IE6 sorts itself out. Commonly, that means your site doesn’t look so good in the ‘better’ browsers such as Firefox, Safari or Opera.

if that’s the case, then I’d suggest serving an additional sheet to IE6 or below using a conditional comment.

I think I’ve fixed it by adding what you see in italics below, in the relevant section of style.css:

.narrowcolumn {
clear:left;
}

.narrowcolumn2 {
clear:left;
}

#searchsubmit {
width:55px;
}

Glad you solved it, however it didn’t work for me, ill continue searching ??
