Layout broken in IE7, why?

  • Hi,
    I heavily skinned my blog to fit it into my site.
    Everything looks great here on FF 2, anyway it seems that in IE7 the layout is broken because the right bar isn’t showed where it should be, but it goes at the bottom.
    You can see this at https://www.flapane.com/blog/

    Any hints? thanks!

    Well most part of them are due to the fact that the blog is in xhtml and the site is in html transitional. Furthermore some errors are made by code I didn’t wrote (plugins and such things).
    I have read those errore, and this specific error I think is related to some overflow in some div or something similar, where in one case the right sidebar is clipped, and in another case it is displayed at the bottom. Unfortunately IE and FF handle such things in different ways, aren’t they?

    I cleaned what I could (gotta tell some plugin mantainers they have written non-validated code) but…
    14errors still remain and I think most of them are a little difficult to be fixed:

    If I can bear with this because I need it otherwise It would screw up other part of the site:
    ——————
    # Line 68, column 81: document type does not allow element “link” here

    …pane.com/style.css” type=”text/css” />
    —————–

    And this can be fixed even if I don’t know how, because of recent post list doesn’t have a class:
    ————–
    ID “recent-posts” already defined

    <li id=”recent-posts” class=”widget widget_recent_entries”>
    ————–

    I don’t know how to fix the other ones.

    All’s well that ends well ??
    IE layout fixed.
    Unfortunately there is still a last issue, this time both with ie and ff.
    The left menù is different, ugly and longer compared with the same menù you can see, for example, in the homepage of the site or in the other static pages, any help?
    The id leftcol is assigned only to that menù, so the blog shouldn’t influence its appearence, in theory.
    thanks

    could anyone wonder the reason why the left menù is longer and uglier than the other parts of the site?
    It is a simple php include with an unique div class so I can’t understand why it looks different in the blog.
