Readers reported a problem with my single post pages on my wordpress blog when those pages have comments. See an example here: http://allfreelancewriting.com/2010...se-for-publicly-sharing-your-freelance-rates/ The comments display correctly in Firefox and Chrome, but in ie8 they're completely screwed up -- alignment is way off, they don't stay to the content area, and the're also pushing the sidebar down to the footer (not a sidebar prob in general though -- only when comments interfere and push into the sidebar's area). Any thoughts on how I could fix this? I haven't heard back from my usual coder that I go to for trouble-shooting so I figured I'd reach out here in the meantime. The css for the comment area on single post pages is below if that helps. .commentlist li { font-weight: bold; } .commentlist li .avatar { border: 1px solid #eee; padding: 2px; background: #fff; margin: 5px 0; } .commentlist cite, .commentlist cite a { font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 1.1em; } .commentlist p { font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; text-transform: none; } .commentlist { text-align: justify; } .commentlist li { margin: 15px 0 15px 0px; padding: 10px; list-style: none; background: #def0c2; height: 1%; overflow: hidden; } .avatarplace { width: 200px; float: left; } .commenttext { float: left; border-left: 1px solid #593d21; width: 365px; padding-left: 10px; } .commentlist p { margin: 10px 5px 10px 0; } .trackbacks { background: #d6eaf1; padding: 10px; } input, textarea { background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px #666666 solid; } #commentform input { width: 170px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 5px 1px 0; background: #f5ebc8; } #commentform textarea { padding: 5px; background: #f5ebc8; } #commentform #submit { padding: 0; } #commentform p { margin: 5px 0; font-weight: bold; } Code (markup): If it helps, here's the comments.php file as well. <?php // Do not delete these lines if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) die ('Please do not load this page directly.
