IE+Wordpress+Sidebar=Disaster!

    I have been working on a theme design for my blog PlayStation Heads and have been testing it with Firefox, as it is my reader's main browser.

    My theme isn't working properly in ie and opera.

    IE is my biggest worry. The problem is that the stuff in the sidebar appers outside the sidebar. It's really annoying, because all my css and xhtml is valid (last time i checked).

    Any help? I just want the archives, blogroll etc. to appear in the light grey area of the sidebar.

    Also I would like to hear some feedback about the rest of my site.

    BTW you have to go to a post to see the sidebar. THX!:cool:

    Try placing

    <div style="clear:both;"></div>
    Code (markup):
    In the bottom of your sidebar file

    I can't help you really but I do want to tell you that it is really important that you sort out the IE problem. Not that you don't know that of course.

    I was a huge FF fan but it has been screwing up like crazy for the past month so I've been back using IE more and more. When you do figure out what is throwing the spanner would you mind to come back and post about it?

    SUCCESS!

    The problem was with the search form. I might just replace it with a search form in the topmost navbar, or replace it in the sidebar with a google form.

    Anyway, thanks for your help and if I need any more help, I'll holla at ya'll LOOL
