Need help with a wordpress site

Hello warriors,

I need your help. I am making a web site for a local company. It's a wordpress site, made with artisteer. All is good except when I view it in Internet Explorer 8 it's screwed up - the footer jumps up to the right column, under the widgets there (so the rrs and "copyrighted by" lines are all displayed under the quote widget)

I've never had this problem before and I just can't figure out why it's doing it. Anyone has any ideas? I would really appreciate it.
Here's the (test) site where this is happening. Home
Again, it looks good in firefox, but the IE8 is messed up.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

    Give me access to play with the sources files and I will gladly take a look. It is too much of a hassle otherwise.

    I viewed in in Firefox and there didn't seem to be a problem. I am not very fond of Internet Explorer so I stopped using it some time ago. It is still there if I need to test different sites but much prefer Firefox.

    Hi,

    IE8 can be hard on new developments in CSS/HTML.

    Have you asked artisteer support, they may have already dealt with this issue?

    If you want, someone else to fix it for you, you may send me PM and maybe I can fix it for you.

    Regards,
    Mohsin

    Thanks for your help guys, and for your generous offer Mohsin.
    But it seems that I am the only one who gets this bug when I view the site, so it appears that my (somewhat strange acting) IE8 is at fault here, not the site's design.

        No, it's showing up in IE10 as well. Run the code through an online validator (just google it) and see what it comes up with. Most of the errors aren't likely to be real problems, so don't freak out. More than likely you're missing a </div> tag somewhere, and IE isn't smart enough to spit out the correct layout.

        Firefox is fantastic as a user, because it seems to be more intuitive. Not so great as a designer/developer, but the exact same reason. It seems to hide mistakes, which isn't what you want. As mentioned above, send a note to the theme maker and see if they can help as well.

        Short of that, you'll either need to dig around for answers or give someone access to the backend. I wouldn't just let anyone from an internet forum in though. FYI.
