More sidebar problems (2 posts)

    I'm having problems with the sidebar not appearing in some browsers (Safari, for one) and having margins that are too large (causing the sidebar to block the text) in others (IE 6.0). I'm thinking the problem might have to do with the left-margin not being a percentage, but I can't seem to fix it (I'm no expert in CSS). Any ideas?

    It's almost certainly a CSS problem but changing your margins to percentages may not fix it. Different browsers tend to handle the CSS Box Model quite differently (IE 6 being the worst offender), so what works in one may break in another.

    In your shoes, I'd get the design looking good in Firefox and Safari and then use conditional comments to serve additional CSS to IE6/7 to correct any problems in those 2 browsers.
