    Hi dear DP members I'm desperately in need of help here. My site HERE just look alright in Firefox,
    but in IE - it crashes down. Even if load - the main page will drop down as
    shown in the screenshot above. I don't know how to fix it anymore.

    I've been trying using various CSS validator - but each time the number of
    errors encountered keep increasing. I have no basic CSS or any programming
    background - so I kind of need the help in simple plain language that people
    like me can understand.

    Please help.

    Hi caj. The columns are too wide in their container. Reduce the width of the left column in the CSS and it will fall back into place :)

    If you need any help then send me a PM.

    I did reduced the column the smallest as it can be but still it look the same in IE.
    The total width is 960px; the content is 450px and sidebar 400px. Another problem is that it crashes IE 5/6.

    I have no choice I suppose but redesign the whole blog.

    You need to take into account margins too as they will also add to the width of the columns, paddings can cause width issues also.

    Also make sure there is nothing in the content of the columns that's pushing the width out.

    Try using cssvista as it may help fix the problem.
