    If you go on my site http://www.germanjulian.com you will see that the sidebar in firefox displays correctly. in IE however it appears right at the bottom of the page. I looked at the CSS sheets and I cannot see what I changed or where my mistake is.

    Can somebody please help.

    Regards

    IE always needs more room for stuff horizontally than any other browser. Try narrowing your subcontent block to 200px, and maybe also your content block. You can also play with the margins and padding on these, sometimes adding more padding can screw with IE on stuff like this. I’ve gotten in the habit of putting padding on the elements INSIDE the divs (for instance, put the padding on the paragraph, or the list instead of the div itself) so IE wouldn’t screw with my head *grin*

    If you wish, you can feed IE “special” IE values by using the star html hack like so:

    * html #subcontent {
    width: 195px;
    }

    Do check in IEMac though, if your stats show you have people who use that browser. You might have to “hide” this fix from IEMac.

    Resize your huge pictures in the post titled Fun, fun, fun… and never put pictures wider than your content area! IE will show them in real size –> screwing up your layout.
