 * Hi all. Here’s my problem:
    I have a 2nd column (sidebar) with the WP links, 
   calendar, etc. In Netscape it aligns properly to the top of the page (just below
   the banner and button bar), but in IE it is pushed down. It appears to be stuck
   to (aligned horizontally with) the WP post contents box. If I move that up or
   down, the sidebar goes with it. I just want it to align at the top the way it
   does in Netscape. Any ideas? TIA

 * Well it will do. In #sidebar you have 20px of padding _all round _

 * Yes I have just had another look. Although the positioning scheme appears very
   fancy IMHO it has gone off course. I think the math is wrong all over.

 * At this point I can’t vouch for the math. I have been doing alot of ‘experimenting’
   and hoping I stumbled over a solution. So its current state is just the point
   at which I gave up and decided to seek help. That’s also why it may seem ‘fancy’
   as I kept trying different things to make it work (i.e. creating new divs and
   reordering them).
    Despite the above, it looks fine in Netscape but not IE. A
   more trivial matter, there is a graphic background beneath the horizontal button
   bar that shows up in Netscape but not IE. What’s up with IE? Thanks for taking
   a stab at it. I spent the whole day on this and got nowhere.
