help with footer

the first problem I see, throwing things off is here on your theme:

<div class="main_sidebar">
					<div class="sidebar_content">
						<div id="text-4" class="widget"><h3 class="widgettitle">Advertising</h3><div class="content">			<div class="textwidget"><a href="https://www.rc-hobbies.com/portland"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/rc.jpg" width="125" height="125" />

<a href="https://www.wilsonwrites.com"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/Wilson.jpg" width="125" height="125" />

<a href="#"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/advert.jpg" width="125" height="125" />

<a href="#"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/advert.jpg" width="125" height="125" />

<a href="#"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/advert.jpg" width="125" height="125" />

<a href="#"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/advert.jpg" width="125" height="125" /></div>
		</div></div>					</div>
				</div>

none of your links are closed

each of these:

<a href="#"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/advert.jpg" width="125" height="125" />

Needs to be:

<a href="#"><img src="https://www.rc-hc.com/wp-content/uploads/advert.jpg" width="125" height="125" /></a>

You seem to have a lot scattered in text widgets all over. Fix every one of those, that really messed up IE

I will look to make those changes right now.

what clued me in, is that your entire footer is a link. If you roll over it in IE and look at the bottom of your browser you can see it is trying to link to #

I think closing all the a tags will fix things, if not, it’ll help us narrow down the issue

You did it! I cannot believe I missed that. Thank you so much! this was driving me crazy. I really appreciate your assistance!

Thank you!

For sure! Glad it was a simple fix! Just remember to always close everything, IE is picky about that

Ya, I can’t believe I missed it. I made the one mistake and then copied and pasted it into two different locations. when I fixed them all, it solved the problem. One misted tag cause that huge issue

It’s one of the first things I check now…. I had a header run wild on me once…not a pretty thing ??

I usually do to. That is one of those tricks that I just forgot. I haven’t coded anything in such a long time that my skills are getting cold. I am in school for web design and I am about to graduate. But I have been spending so much time on marketing class, history 101 and all the other crap they make you take that I haven’t had the time to work on any sites. So I have been forgetting those little tidbits of information that help you solve problems like this

Yet another reason why people should always validate their sites. ??

https://validator.w3.org/

here’s a tidbit for ya then! Deactivate all plugins (they throw errors a lot of the time) and run your url through here. Will help you track down any unclosed elements, etc

EDIT: that pretty funny timing @esmi

True true. I wasn’t even looking in the sidebar. I thought it was a coding issue in the footer.
