    I have a floating bar at the bottom of my site that has sharing icons for digg and such. It shows correctly on FF and Chrome but if I go there with IE the bars there but non of the icons are there. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to solve it? Thank you very much.

    I have experienced similar problems but there are many ways to get around this depending on the issue. Firstly, IE doesn't like to improvise you need to define proper HEIGHT and WIDTH to all your fixed elements on the page. Second, if you float something, don't forget to CLEAR it out. Third, make sure the page is W3C validated. At the same time, it also helps to change the values a bit around to see if the problem persists, so for example you can increase HEIGHT and WIDTH remove the floats etc. A bit of testing will solve this problem as it doesn't seem anything big to me.

    I hope this helps.
