Strange Disappearing Navigation (posts) in IE – help please

    Hello. Thank you in advance for your help. Some tech friends and posters on other sites have been trying to figure this out — and no one can. I have a limited amount of knowledge of css (some) and I have trouble shooted the problem – so I can tell you exactly what is going on.

    Here’s the facts: I am using a WP theme with navigation (i.e posts that function as tabs like “about” “contact” etc.) that are NOT showing up in IE (they all shows up fine with other browsers). Now, I have made changes to the theme (simple things like color, size, header images) and I must have done “something” to the code – but I do not know what.

    And, this is NOT a theme issue as other sites using same theme show up fine in IE. I have been googling all over and some people say this might be some “float” issue? (Fyi, the theme also uses uses quite a lot of Jquery, Ajax scripting so someone thought that could be an issue.) I just don’t know. All I know is it doesn’t work in IE. I can post MY css style sheets and then all the original css (that works fine) if that helps so you can see side by side? Am I allowed to post all that here? Any ideas? Thank you!

    often it helps the most if you post a link to your site.

    if you need to post large amounts of code from css or php files, you should use the pastebin and post that link here.

    Thank you alchymyth (and great name!)

    Here is the site:

    And below is all the ORIGINAL CSS Style Sheet (Sorry, I am not 100% suer what “exactly” things are called) and AND the new one where I changed just a few things, like sizes, color, etc. Again, I must have changed something else somehow. ALSO I included the footer info as I read somewhere that maybe that could somehow be a problem.

    ALSO
    Someone on another site said this might be solution as I read somewhere something about IE and “floating”: but I tried this and it does not help. Thank you.
    this looks and smells like a css problem.  but i think there are better solutions to the IE box model float problem.

    try adding this to your content class definition in your css file
    overflow-y:hidden

    .content{background:#9999FF; font-size:12px; line-height:18px;overflow-y:hidden;}

    You’re using a JavaScript-based sidebar that simply doesn’t work in IE. It’s throwing an error.

    hi thanks for your help, but actually, as I stated in my first post – this overall theme works fine in IE. for instance you can go here and see it works fine. it is just MY code I did something with that is the problem. http://dev.clarklab.net/wp/

    You might want to re-check your site in IE8. There’s no sidebar at all.

    check and find these lines:

    <div class="panel" title="About">

					<p><strong> Welcome! </p>
<p>This will be info about the Modern Rhy

    removing the unclosed tag <strong> (or closing it properly) made it work in IE in my test installation.
