    Greetings. I'm using a wordpress install. the template that i've started using apparently looks ok in firefox, ok in i.e.7 but in i.e. 6 the sidebar is all the way at the bottom. I know this is some kind of a sizing/table issue but I'm at a loss of what the specific issue is or how to fix it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    depends if the template is based on tables or divs

    IE6 didnt cope with overflowing width on divs well when used in conjunction with floats

    knowing little to nothing about html, but having delved into the coding, i'm going to say its based on divs.

    is there anyway to fix the overflow issue?

    it'll probably be padding used alongside floats.

    What template is it?

    if you open the html part of the coding, if it is div's it will look like

    <div class="wrapper"></div>
    or
    <div id="wrapper"></div>

    something along those lines

    tables

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    but as someone else said, its probably the float or padding in the css
