Hello,  Here is a link to my development server - everything appears fine when I open the site in Firefox, but when I open it in IE 6 & IE7 it appears to knock everything off to the left.

Anyone have any suggestions?  CSS is not my strong point

I just took a quick look at it and I’m answering off the top of my head, so no guarantees… *but* it is probably that IE is doubling your margin, which is something it does just for fun to aggravate designers.

Giving the items affected the attribute “display:inline” usually fixes it.

Here’s a few helpful links for future reference:

I hope this is helpful! Best of luck to you.

Looks like your first two columns are too wide for the third/

In css put border:1px solid orange; on
right_ct_profile and left_content and you’ll see it.
I’d guess 40px less should do it.

Your column widths look fine to me. You’re rendering ‘not logged in’ at the top of the page before your doctype declaration - try removing that.

Actually the best way to get around this and easiest way to fix MOST problems is to correct the html code in your page to be compliant with the W3 standards.

Currently it shows 50 errors, and i bet one of those would fix the problem. There are definitely issues with IE rendering compared to FF but there aren’t that many, and most times the problem is that ie tries to understand what you code is trying to do while FF adheres strictly to standards.

Can’t link directly to the completely check due to character issues with the forum restrictions here.

Hmm, will look into that.  It looks like my testing flag was creating most of the problems.  Thanks!

LOL!  Let’s clarify this…IE7 (not IE6, which has many). 

You’ll probably have to create a separate CSS document for IE6’s issues.
