 * I have a self-hosted WordPress blog site at [http://www.forthefirstime.ca](http://www.forthefirstime.ca)
   using the template iNove. It looks PERFECT in IE but is all screwed up in Firefox
   and Chrome. I think it’s something to do with the nesting or order of the CSS,
   but nothing I do fixes it.
 * Any help would be VERY mich appreciated.

 * Hi
 * 2 lines to add to your stylesheet,
    line 356:
 *     ```
       #content {
       background:#FFFFFF url(img/sidesep.gif) repeat-y right center;
       border-left:1px solid #FFB56C;
       ADD ---->  float:left;
       }
       ```
   
 * line 723
 *     ```
       #footer {
       background:transparent url(img/footer2.jpg) no-repeat;
       border-top:1px solid #CCCCCC;
       color:#FFFFFF;
       display:block;
       ADD ---> float:left;
       font-size:11px;
       height:31px;
       line-height:145%;
       width:100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * It is quite possible this could mess up the display in IE while fixing it in 
   FF. On mine, it messed up IE7.
    **If** that happens, the theme has a 2nd stylesheet
   called ie.css – in that case try adding this into it
 *     ```
       #content { float: none; }
       #footer { float: none; }
       ```

 * Thank you! You are my WordPress angel! It worked very well and didn’t even mess
   it up in IE. Now I just got a couple of little border issues to look at and I’m
   done.
 * Thank you again so much. This was exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for.

 * Help again! It works now very well in IE and Firefox, but is still not displaying
   properly in Safari and Chrome.
 * Any advice?

 * It’s not displaying very well in my FF, because of the sidebar being too wide.
   If you change it from 300px to 295px, and make it float: left, it’ll display 
   like it should.
 * I recommend a ‘clear: both;’ on the footer.

 * OK everyone – this site – wwww.forthefirstime.ca s working fine now in IE, Firefox
   and Chrome, but apparently the sidebar is still showing up in the wrong place
   on Safari.
 * Does anyone know of a safari stylesheet, like the IE.css that will work for the
   WordPress template?

 * A Safari tweak can be created in javascript or jQuery

 * Actually – I checked it on an iPod that uses Safari and that’s OK, so could it
   be a Mac issue? If anyone out there is using a Mac, please check [http://www.forthefirstime.ca](http://www.forthefirstime.ca)
   and let me know where the sidebar displays.
