Site not displaying correctly in IE

    I never test my site with IE because I do not like it. However, today I did load the site and notice that the bottom of the page is not correct. The code seems to become confused and the background bleeds over the text area. Additionally when loading other pages within the site the sidebar items wrap to the bottom of the text area.

    NONE of this happens in Firefox. I am just knowledgable to be dangerous so I am hoping that someone will know in what direction to point me.

    The site is Classic Homes Northwest and it is my little slice of real estate on the web.

    Thanks in advance I hope that this is something that is quite simple to resolve.

    You could start by sorting out the validation errors in your theme.

    Thank you… I have no clue what exactly you mean but it looks like a lot of errors need to be looked at. Thank you for showing me the page with the errors. I appreciate it.

    The process to start debugging any visual CSS issue is to make sure your HTML – that the CSS is styling – is correctly structured in the first place.

    The validator link esmi sent you shows there are issues with your HTML strcuture – most serious are the ones relating to not closing tags correctly. If they’re fixed your issue for IE might go away – if not it will at least get you to the point where you can then ask for CSS advice to fix the prob.

    I looked in IE6 and couldnt see a prob.

    Hope thats of some assistance

    Specifically, you’re dealing with some missing ending </div> tags that are making the text “bleed” and are throwing the sidebar off. There are many other errors, but start with the </div> tags you missed in editing your theme. Classic Homes Northwest| Helping people buy and sell classic homes in the Pacific Northwest..

    Thank you everyone for the responses.

    I have cleaned up some of the errors and now the page loads correctly on all browsers. I still have errors but my biggest concern is the page displaying correctly.

    I will be continuing to learn more about WP and CSS. I am sure I will have more newbie questions.

    Again, thank you.
