    Hey Guys,

    I'm new here so hopefully someone can help me out.

    I'm working on a website that someone else designed and CSS positioning is not my strong point(still learning). The previous designer did not have the site rendering correctly in IE6. We've got most of the bugs worked out, but this last one is going on under our wordpress area.

    The information box should be to the right of the main content box, but for some reason it is sliding underneath. Can anyone provide some insight into what maybe causing this?

    Thanks.

    The sidebar info box may be too wide (sometimes things fit fine in most browsers but not in IE6).

    Try going into your CSS and thinning the sidebar div bit by bit until it fits. You might need to add overflow: hidden to it to make sure it is actually the width you are specifying.

    It's underneath in FF too. Try setting the margins on the content and info divs to 0

    You were both right, it was just a little bit too wide. I played with the margins enough to get it to barely squeeze in.

    Thanks so much for your help!
