Twenty Eleven Child Theme not displaying correctly in IE. (5 posts)

    So, no big surprise, but I'm having IE problems. My site is at http://www.dixieandrade.com. I made a child theme from Twenty Eleven and made a few modifications to the CSS (to add a background behind the pages) and modified the .php files a bit (to remove comments from Pages). I don't know what I could have done to piss off IE, there is no telling I suppose.

    The menu is there, but the bar behind the menu is nonexistent, so you can't see it.

    And the sidebar is below the content instead of floating to the right.

    Any ideas? Thanks so much!

    remove/move any html code from the space before DOCTYPE ... i.e. any html before the 'get_header()' line in any template.

    move this (<div class="wrapper">) to just after the body tag.

    Okay, spoke too soon. That fixed it for IE7 and above. But, IE6 is still jacking things up. The page background is wider than it should be and the menu is MIA. And the sidebar is below the content still. Should I make a separate CSS for IE6 with a conditional statement in the html? Or try a box hack as one of my friends suggested?

    Thanks again!
