 * Hi folks!
 * Ok, so I’m pretty new to really getting my hands dirty with CSS. I can move and
   position stuff (usually), but am having trouble with this IE bug. Using the wp-
   framework theme, I’m attempting to tweak the layout a bit. This displays fine
   in FF, Chrome and Safari, but IE has been giving me fits. I took a screenshot
   of the issue and tossed it up at [http://jeffersonmstovall.com/layout.png](http://jeffersonmstovall.com/layout.png).
   Below is my CSS:
 *     ```
       .container { width: 700px; margin: 20px auto; }
       .hfeed { width: 400px;
       		float: left;
       		border: 1px;
       		border-style:solid;
       		border-color: white;
       		}
       .aside { width: 150px;
       		float: right;
       		margin-top: 120px;
       		border: 1px;
       		border-style: solid;
       		border-color: white;
       		}
       .footer { clear: both; text-align: right; border: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: white;}
       ```
   
 * Like I said, any help is appreciated, even a gentle shove in the right direction.
   I’ve done a good bit of research but don’t even know enough about IE bugs to 
   know what to search for.
 * Lastly, did I include all the info needed to diagnose the issue?
 * Let me know if there’s anything else. Thanks so much!
 * -Jeff

 * my bet would be this: `margin-top: 120px;`, but to be absolutely sure I would
   have to need an url to the live site.

 * Thanks, Peter. The URL is: [http://jazz.jeffersonmstovall.com/](http://jazz.jeffersonmstovall.com/).
 * I did take out the margin-top selector, but it didn’t change anything. You’ll
   see I was using it to push the “Support Levels” down to the same line as “You
   are invited…”
 * Appreciate the help!

 * Think I found it:
 * This element:
 *     ```
       <div class="intro-text">
       ```
   
 * is not properly terminated
 *     ```
       </div?
       ```
   
 * You should [validate](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fjazz.jeffersonmstovall.com%2F)
   your xhtml.

 * Yep, that got it out of there, thanks, Peter! Now I’ll play with repositioning
   it. And you’re right, I should’ve checked the validation before posting. Duly
   noted.
 * Thanks much for your help!
