    hey guys, i hope some of you can help me.

    i have done my website the way i want it on firefox, chrome, etc. but in ie, and especially ie6 its all messed.

    1/. the header bacground image shows too low. i have tried to resize it but i cant.
    2/. the sidebar on the right disappears and reappears a t the very end of the page
    3/. the search button is half disappearred and search text is all to the left.

    can anyone help me fix those, please? i am really geting frustrated. have been working to try to resolve those for more than a month.

    oh, my website is at: http://www.cokc.biz

    You could start by sorting out the validation errors on the site. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    most of those errors are not mine, i think, some of them are from wordpress. how do i clean those up?

    Those errors are all yours....or at least your theme's

    WordPress does not throw any errors

    You can either look at the output from the validator, start at the top, and clean up your code.....or install a better theme

    where's the script coming from? Coded into your theme somewhere?

    <script language="Javascript">

    validates as:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    hey RVoodoo,

    can i ask another question. i just found out for many of the rest mistakes. i got them down to 22.

    for the navtab and the footer, they have the same list id, which shows as a mistake. for the footer i use wp_list pages and i dont know how to change/and why should i when it is automatic?

    any suggestions?

    ID's can only appear once on a page, classes can be reused

    so the way wp_list_pages is used must not be right...

    my wp_list_pages outputs classes rather than IDs.....

    RVoodoo can you show how yours output only class, without ID? whats the website you used it on?

    wish I could help ya a bit more, I totally forgot where I grabbed the code from, and this isn't my area of expertise....

    <ul>
      <?php if (is_page()) { $highlight = "page_item"; } else {$highlight = "page_item current_page_item"; } ?>
      <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
      <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
    </ul>

    on rvoodoo.com

    (Its the text nevbar, not the graphical one, it has a couple of div ID's used before the actual list to wrap it, as I knew it would only be used once. If I was going to reuse the list, I would of course change the IDs to classes, and copy/edit the appropriate css)

    while i was waiting i figured it out. only one more mistake to go for the target="_blank" and most of my pages will be verified.

    actually, my mistake was made by a plug in calles classy wp list pages, so i disabled it. checked if it looks ok in both ie6 and later and other browsers, nothing changed. so i left it disabled.

    you have workaround on the _blank error?

    well...you have a few options...

    your theme is currently xhtml 1.1 strict, whereas mine is 1.0 transitional (which allows target blank). You can set yours as transitional if you want....or if you want to stay strict and google around for alternate solutions....

    here's the very first line of my header.php which sets transitional
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    here's some discussion about alternatives to target=blank for strict
