 * sorry it is not a css issue. Am am using carriage returns to place the objects:
 *     ```
       div id="left">
       <ul>
       <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
               || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>
   
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
   
       <li>
   
       <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
   
       </li>
   
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
       <p>&nbsp;</p>
   
       <li>
       			<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
       			</li>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       </ul>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * SO how can I replace these to work in other browsers

 * Get rid of all `<p>&nbsp;</p>` lines. It’s a lousy way to add padding/margins
   to anything but especially within an unordered list outside of the `<li></li>`
   markup. That will seriously invalidate the markup – which means that pretty much
   anything could happen in terms of the display cross-browser.
 * Use CSS:
 * `#left ul li {margin-bottom:10px;}`
