   My site looks good in Firefox, Chrome and okay on the secondary pages in IE. But I'm having an issue with the front page in IE 8.0. I ran the WC3 Validator with only one error (</div><!-- #branding -->) Missing '>' which has been fixed.

   Site:
   http://sportsdirectdist.com/wordpress/

   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

   As I'm on Linux with no access to Internet Explorer, I would suggest A) Not to worry too much about it as less and less people are using IE nowadays, and B) Check your Stylesheet over ( *.css file) to ensure that there is nothing preventing IE to display properly.

   Also are you running AJAX/jQuery/Protoype?

   use conditional comments to load a stylsheet for ie
   

   <!--[if IE]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="your_stylsheet_for_ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   <![endif]-->

   Thanks for the quick posts guys.

   @RichieC1 - I agree that not too many people use IE, but the rest of the site looks fine, just the front page. And it's bothering me.

   @forunner - where do I place the conditional comment in the css? I searched the forums and couldn't find any assistance.

   Thanks again.

   you don't :p !
   you have to create a new stylesheet (for example : style_ie.css)
   and you call the stylsheet just after your first stylsheet in the html

   in my wordpress, I have (in the header.php) :
   

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   	<!--[if IE]>
   		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); echo "ie.css"; ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   	<![endif]-->
   	<!--[if IE 6]>
   		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); echo "ie6.css"; ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   	<![endif]-->

   warning : my stylsheet are called by "bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); echo "ie.css" because their name are style.cssie.css and style.cssie6.css
   put the new stylesheet in your theme folder, near the first one ;)
