 * I am trying to implement our company web design in WP as a separate theme, so
   I took our home page for example, split the HTML code to header, footer, sidebar
   and body content and placed each in Header.php, Footer.php, Sidebar.php and Index.
   php under the new theme folder
 * Taking in consideration that when moving the HTML code I am sure I didn’t miss
   anything (revised HTML code many times), I am facing the following ‘strange’ 
   problems
 * When testing the theme under FireFox everything is simply perfect, but when testing
   under Internet Explorer 7, the design look so strange…tables height expanded 
   in some areas, top flash banner in header is not shown!
 * Ironically when I test the site home page (before implementing it in WordPress)
   under FireFox and Internet Explorer 7….everything seems just fine!!!
 * I’ve revised the HTML code many times and I am sure that it is exactly the same
 * So can someone please help me and tell me how I can trace the problem?
    Did anyone
   face such problem before? Is there any special considerations in the HTML code
   I should consider to have our theme compatible with all browsers?
 * Thanks in advance for your time

 * try grabbing the content of the wordpress page and running through an html validator.
   If any little thing did get left off — which makes ie all hissy — the validator
   will tell you.
