    Hello everyone.

    I am working on a site (my html / css knowledge is quite basic) and I have a bu that has been driving me mad for 2 days now trying to fix.

    When the page is displayed in firefox it is fine, but in IE the right column will be displayed UNDER the left column insead of next to it.

    The problem seems to lie in the .php include in the left column. If you take that out the page displays fine.

    If anyone could help me I would be eternally greatfull.

    Here is the link to the page in question and the style sheet..

    oh I can't include a link yet.. bugga. well if you e-mail me I will be able to send the link!! lees.david@gmail.com

    Many thanks!!

    David.

    try reducing the widths of leftcolumn and/or rightcolumn. floats will do that if the container div is too small to fit them side by side.

    ok this sounds like a margin problem.

    When you use margins you need to set the half for IE like this:

    margin-right: 50px;
    #margin-right: 25px;

    The# makes it only accessable for IE
