    hello,
    i have recenlty published my own website. i built it using a design template and i have adapted the template for my needs. i am trying to push the design a little further now but i am having problems with the layout displaying in internet explorer.

    the desing has two columns and i wanted to make the left column just shy of far left and the right column to start where left column finishes. the original design had both coumns more to centre of page.

    i have altered the margins and the columns (i use wysiwyg editor, Kompozer) and they display ok in firefox but when i view the same page in Internet explorer the column to the left is at the top of the page the column to the right begins below the left column, this looks proper random.

    also i fill the header and the left column with php includes but i am sure this wont make a difference to the positioning of the columns themselves.

    i hope i am have been clear in trying to describe this problem but i am aware that i may have missed important information as i am new to site development.

    any help or suggestions apreciated, thanks
