my host said it was a problem related to how i changed around the code on my zen cart site. does anyone know how to fix this problem?
it works fine with some Internet explorers but not the newer version of it

Re: website looks messed up on Internet explorer

This is a guess, but try adding
<br class="clearBoth" />

immediately after the last </div> statement in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

Re: website looks messed up on Internet explorer

What is the logo height in the css or in the header.php language file?

includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php

stylesheet.css
find:
#logowrapper
and a height declaration to match the header background/logo image

I just checked your site.

the #logowrapper height declaration is 75px

Your header background is 197px in height.

make the height declaration in #logowrapper 197px and I think everything should look OK

Re: website looks messed up on Internet explorer

hi-
thanks

my header_php says:
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '747px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '197px');

initially my css code said:

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color: #ffffff;
height:75px;
}

and i changed it to:

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color: #ffffff;
height: 197px;
width: 747px;
}

i dont have that version of IE thats messed up. can someone please confirm that this has fixed the problem?
