    I'm having an issue with the menu to the left on this site:

    http://www.creditreportandrepair.com


    In Firefox its OK, when I look in Explorer the bottom piece to menu is miles down page and there's a gap at top.

    Any help would be great as I can't find out what the problem is..

    Thanks

    OK, thanks :)

    Sorry if I sound a bit stupid but is this some standard code to add? I visited the link but I'm not very familiar with css you see. Its just a template I'm using. Do I add it to the css code in editor?

    you need to add the conditional comments part in the head section of your index.php and then create an extra stylesheet where you can fix all the mistakes showen in ie

    mmm OK thanks. At least I know now. Think that's beyond my capabilities though. Might just delete the annoying thing and have done! Lol

    OK I will check that out it sounds useful... I have just managed to sort it. I found the original index template file it worked OK in IE. I must of pressed something when I was messing with it. I just copied the menu thing from original.

    Thanks for the help though I have added rep

    You don't always need to use conditional comments, sometimes you can alter the CSS to work in both browsers or you may have gone about something incorrectly.

    This isn't related to your inital question but there is no need to use align="center" inside your HTML. Presentational things like this can go in the CSS and reduce the amount of code in your HTML file.
    You can float:left, float:right and use margin: 0 atuo; to align DIV's.

    I'm not sure what your problem was, but in Firefox and IE the box isn't stretching to the bottom because you've defined a height for panel which is smaller than the text inside it. Either get rid of the height or change it to a min-height
