7 replies
So i saw today when i was at school the website i am working on in Internet Explorer and its really messy if i click on something on the site.

if its ok to put the link to show if somebody could possibly help me because its not so great that it works perfectly in firefox but not in IE i will if somebody wants it in a pm

so i wanted to see if somebody could give me any advice on how to fix this so plz if you could check in both firefox and IE for me that would be great

so its the sidebar that moves down if i put for example a picture on the main site the sidebar on the right moves down as the pictures size.

let me know if this isn´t allowed im not sure just need advice on this.
Valarun Photographer this is the link

so please if somebody can help i think its the theme that is broken i dont think i did something wrong to it that made it like it is now.

    I looked at the source html for that page, and it looks like you may have an extra closing div tag above the one closing the content area ( look for <!-- CONTENTAREA --> ).

    This would throw off the entire layout

      i tried that but it didn´t work like it was supposed to but it made all my pages white on the content and that was what i wanted to but now its just to keep the sidebar on the top.

    another thing I found:

    you have a closing form tag in your side bar, but no opening tag (or form at all)

    take a closer look at your source code in your side bars. You have some things going on like this:
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>
    </div>
    </li>
    </ul>

    look at the html source, and format everything so you can see the open & close tags - I think you'll find a few more things to fix

    well, this:

    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>
    </div>
    </li>
    </ul>

    should be:
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>

    in this case, your list is suppose to be inside the div - so you don't want to close the div before you close the list. close your tags in the order you opened them.

    Get everything nested and structured correctly, then any incorrect tags will start to jump out at you.
