    Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me put a label to the problems my CSS is hitting when I load my website in IE. I’ve been looking at this for awhile and I’m not entirely sure what bug is causing what problem. Could anyone take a look at it for me?

    The website I’m working on is http://www.pixelwell.com. Let me know if you’ll need any other information, and thanks in advance for your help.

    Try running it through the W3C validator: http://validator.w3.org as a first step. That usually helps immensely. After that, you would be able to do minor tweaking specifically for IE using conditional stylesheets, demonstrated below:

    <!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo(template_directory'); ?>/ie.css" />
<![endif]-->

    Oh man, that suggestion led me to a whole rash of problems. The validator pointed me towards the presence of the CSS file code before the DOCTYPE code, which was somehow the means by which my site rendered. Obviously that made it so it couldn’t be validated, and when I went to fix the DOCTYPE v. CSS order, the CSS was screwed up on all browsers for the site. However, that simultaneously made it so IE rendered the same way the other browsers did, and I don’t necessarily have to search for the individual bugs when I hammer out the CSS (or they won’t be mysterious– it was probably the way I coded it improperly). Suffice to say, I think not only is my original problem on its way, but I also caught the crappy coding I had done with the validator. Thanks for the suggestion, its much appreciated. Cheers mate, and thanks again.
