 * Hi,
    I’ve implemented the mailchimp plugin into my sidebar ([http://www.ingeteblick.be](http://www.ingeteblick.be)),
   and it looks nice on Firefox; however on Explorer it looks messy. How do I solve
   that? It looks like IE ignores the
    -  coding or something but I can’t find where to change that.

 * Hey there!
 * Could you send us a screenshot of how the form appears on your end to [examples@mailchimp.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/explorer-quirks/examples@mailchimp.com?output_format=md)(
   subject line: attn: tk)? That’ll allow me to ensure we’re seeing the same thing.
 * Also, what version of internet explorer are you using? And can you describe the
   specific differences you’re seeing between FIrefox and IE?

 * Hi,
    now that I only use one field (the email address) the problem is avoided.
   What happened was that firefox sent all text and input fields neatly to the left,
   with the word on one line, its field on the next line, then the next word on 
   the next line and so on. Explorer though showed the first name field right after
   the Dutch word (‘voornaam’) without sending it to the next line, because the 
   word ‘voornaam’ is too short. I needed the ability to put a break after every
   word so it would send the input field to the next line.

 * Hey hey,
 * Ah, okay! Glad you were able to find a workaround. Based on your description 
   of the issue it sounds like you were seeing an example of how in some cases Internet
   Explorer can handle CSS code differently than Firefox.
 * If you find that the issue re-arises or that you do need to include additional
   fields besides just the email address, feel free to post back to this thread 
   with a link to your live example. I can then take a look and see if I can make
   any suggestions as far as what you can add to your stylesheet to try and make
   the fields align that desired way.
