My site isn't aligned properly

[familynow]

Can anyone help me figure out why my site isn't aligned properly in IE?

The menu is out of whack with the rest and the body is aligned left.

What site?

Guess I should have a second coffee!

Oh dear... another victim of Template Monster...

Sorry, but these templates are notoriously awful (code-wise). It can take even an experienced zenner HOURS to unpick them.

Best call for help from the rogues who sold it to you.

The forum is littered with tearful posts from people seeking help with TM errors...

Trouble is, these templates by-pass / disable / wreck so much core ZC stuff, it's often very difficult to see where problems lie. Additionally, they can be virtually impossible to accommodate for upgrades, additional modules, etc.

Agreed. But I'm 100% certain this is something I did since it worked fine just a short while ago. I don't use IE so I tend only load my site in IE when I make a significant change -I realize I should make a habit of checking it at _every_ change but...

This particular TM tpl can't be all that bad if I, being not very knowledgeable, can sort out most of the issue. I know ppl here don't like them but it would have cost me TONS to get the same from a designer and in TMs defense it would necessarily be a given that said designer would have followed ALL standards set out by ZC.

Anyway. Any insight/advise on where to point myself would REALLY be appreciated.

If you are sure it is something you did yourself, then I recommend to compare your files against the files from TM and find the differences.

In your stylesheet...

.main-width { width:950px; margin:0 auto; text-align:left;}

Im sure it should say..

.main-width { width:950px; margin:auto; text-align:left;}

hm. Yes. That even makes sense to me. I'll give that a whirl right now.

Doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Seems as though there might be an open tag somewhere since the bg for the body isn't showing everywhere. Dunno if that sends anyone some red flags or not...
