    Please take a visit and take a look at http://www.upcoming-movies.org.

    If it is displayed correctly, it should look like [​IMG]

    Otherwise it will look like [​IMG]

    Dependig on the PC/broswer.. etc, it appears that website sometime comes up differently (notice the right sidebar). I really need to know how it looks for you.

    Thanks in advance :)

    42 validation errors means you do not have HTML, you have gibberish. This pretty much reduces the chances of the page working cross browser exponentially.

    Though your specific error is likely the width of one of your columns being calculated incorrectly, though I'd not be able to find the element without first fixing all the unclosed tags, invalid nestings and other issues.

    What you have is not so much a simple problem with a simple fix, but a small symptom indicative of a deeper rooted illness.

    Though that's pretty much typical of 99% of wordpress skins.

    Seems to be fine in IE7, Opera and Chrome.

    If it seems broken in IE6, then I imagine the markup is right, its IE6's faulty interpretation of the markup thats at fault.

    Its a case of how much work do you want to put into fixing IE6 issues, it all depends how many IE6 users you expect.

    On my sites its still around 15% of my users.

    The trouble is IE6 is a broken browser, people really should upgrade to IE7 or Chrome, however good design will work around the quirks with IE6.

    Just been looking at the pictures, and they both seem to be taken in IE7, how did you get the second version to display in IE7?

    I would assume XP vs. Vista... or 64 bit vs. 32 bit. Despite claiming to be the same rendering engine there are some differences that can be really annoying between the two...

    Which is why part of my testing cycle is running XP under M$ VPC with IE7 on a Vista machine.

    Just like Win98 IE6 and XP IE6 aren't exactly the same thing either. Could also be one copy is not updated completely. We like to think of IE6 as a single never upgraded program, when easily a third of windows updates make changes to how IE handles things - most of it security, but not all. (and even some security fixes can change rendering behavior)

    If I were to take a guess, I would say this is caused by the different default element margins, etc. used by different browsers. The floating divs are too wide for your container div, so the right floating div is being popped down.

    I always start off by setting my own default element css settings for every project. Helps to make things cross-browser that way.
