Title: Internet Explorer Sidebar Bug Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Internet Explorer Sidebar Bug * [petitshoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petitshoo/) * (@petitshoo) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internet-explorer-sidebar-bug/) * Hi, I’ve designed a site and blog at [http://www.greenkidcrafts.com/craftideas/](http://www.greenkidcrafts.com/craftideas/). The blog shows up great in every browser I’ve used EXCEPT Internet Explorer ( go figure). * The original problem was that the content was showing up in an extremely narrow column. I fixed that by using a conditional style sheet and changing the padding and margins (since IE adds those together). However, now that that is fixed, my floating right sidebar is showing up underneath the content (although still floating right). I tried adding the display: inline function to my #sidebar in the CSS. Didn’t work. I tried messing with the width of both the content and sidebar to make sure the content wasn’t too wide to accomodate the sidebar. Didn’t work. * Does anyone have any ideas for me? * I appreciate any help! Thanks! Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [Rev.

``` * which is very invalid. That has to be down under the opening tag * Stuff like that will throw IE [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgreenkidcrafts.com%2Fcraftideas%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.1#line-1](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgreenkidcrafts.com%2Fcraftideas%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.1#line-1) * And to pair with it, the closing

is below the also invalid….. * Thread Starter [petitshoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petitshoo/) * (@petitshoo) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internet-explorer-sidebar-bug/#post-1905127) * Thanks! Although that has made no difference now that it is fixed. IE still isn’t showing my sidebar in the correct place. Any other ideas? * [Rev. Voodoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvoodoo/) * (@rvoodoo) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internet-explorer-sidebar-bug/#post-1905128) * well, your closing tag is still invalid…. it needs to be up above the closing body tag too. * Gotta get the code valid, to see if that is what is flaking IE out. IE is a sensitive monster….. * Thread Starter [petitshoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petitshoo/) * (@petitshoo) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internet-explorer-sidebar-bug/#post-1905135) * That is now fixed and still the sidebar isn’t where I want it. * Thanks for taking time to help me.
