Blockquote problems in IE

    First – I’m sorry for reposting, but thought I needed to add a little more info, and couldn’t figure out how to edit yesterday’s post.

    My site: http://www.inthepinktexas.com – not pron – it’s texas state politics, we have a pink capital building 🙂

    It is fine in firefox – in IE6 (PC) as you scroll down the page, the text “slides” off the left of the page.
    -It doesn’t appear to be a CSS issue (tried other CSSs from the web and they slide too)
    -it doesn’t appear to be an HTML issue in one of the posts (we’ve hidden each one individually, and the problem is still there.)
    -leaving the template? but noone says they have changed it from the default.

    Anyone have a guess? or somewhere we might look for a hint?

    thanks a ton. loving wordpress, looking forward to getting over this hurdle!

    I read this in your stylesheet:

    #header{
    #header

    But that’s unlikeley to be the cause, though there’s no reason to leave it like that.
    I’ll check back tomorrow if noone could give you more help.

    strange. i could have sworn i pulled this out yesterday. oh well. it’s gone now. as you suspected though, the text drift problem still exists.

    i just tried using the default index.php too and the drift still exists.

    running out of options i guess 🙂

    in an effort to provide as much help as i can…

    installed IE7 and that didn’t seem to solve the issue. unfortunately.

    could it be something with the blockquotes? the problem seems to be worse when there are lots of posts with blockquotes, but I don’t see anything wrong with the HTML.

    thanks for any help at all. grasping at straws now.

    one more update.

    it IS the block quotes. things are no longer drifting with them gone.

    Anyone know how to make blockquotes work properly in IE?

    i’ll quit posting now – just wanted to have all the info i could out there.

    thank you.

    Can you put a post back with blockquotes so we can see the problem ?

    I’ve added three of the blockquotes back in. enough to show the drift, but not take it all the way off the page.

    I see the bq’s …… but I don’t see what the problem is ?
    I scroll up/down, they look okay.

    What should I be seeing ?

    Would comparing screenshots be useful ?

    in IE as you scroll down the text “drifts” to the left. By the bottom of the page there is nearly no margin at all. If I had more bq’s the text would go off the page.

    it is probably the most clear in the 3rd bq, where you can see the text is coming out of the bq formatting (going over the pink dotted line).

    Do you see what I’m talking about? If not, I can add more bq’s so it starts to slide all the way off the page.

    Fixed It! whoo-hooo!

    it took adding the following line:
    blockquote { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; }

    to the style section of the header.

    Thank’s a ton for looking at this disurrion and podz – you kept me at it.
