Having some clearing issues with IE

Hey Warriors,

I recently (last week) started a new website. I created the theme myself and, like a dummy, didn't test it in IE along the way. The site shows up fine in FireFox and Chrome, but I seem to be having an issue with my sidebar/content when using IE. I'm assuming this is a clearing issue, but I'm not 100% certain. Can anyone take a quick glance at it using IE and see what they think the issue might be?

In the meantime, does anyone know a good plugin or script that will trigger a popup if the user is using IE? I would like to let them know that there is an issue and that it's being worked on. I'm not too knowledgeable of IE conditional statements, although I think that's what I need to use.

Here is my site: Electronic Cigarette Reviews

It's still a work in progress. I will create a review thread once it's a little further along. Thanks for any help, guys.

    Tested in IE8

    cant confirm entirely but you'll probably find the errors you are getting are because you are trying to set width and padding values in the same element, IEs never liked this although I was under the impression they'd actually sorted this in newer versions of IE

    as for the popup, yeah a standard IF IE statement could be used but why youd want to show a popup when this is the case is a little confusing to me, the user should already know they are using IE

      I was wanting to trigger a pop up that said something like "It appears you are using Internet Explorer. We are currently experiencing issues with our site displaying correctly in this browser. We are working to fix this problem as soon as possible.... blah blah" if the visitor is using internet explorer.

      I was just looking for that as a temporary solution while I figured out how to fix the problem.

    hi drewhowell21,

    There is nothing wrong. its okay just need one change in css file.
    edit your css file and change the selector
    #content { width:620px}

    I have tested with IE9 and as i changed the width the broken layout is fixed. Hope you understand. I just give 620px width for testing purpose. Now you know what is going wrong and you can fix the width of selector #content to whatever best fit.

    Hope this will help you.
