Sidebox missing in IE but shows in Mozilla?

Hi,
my right side sideboxes dont show in IE but they show in mozilla??
left sideboxes show in both IE and mozilla...

does anyone have any idea how i can fix this?

thanks.

Post a link to your site as we are blind without it.

Also IE what version?

hi kobra,
thanks for replying.

my version of IE is 7 :smile:

For a test try increasing you main Wrapper to say 900px and see if IE squares away??? If you look at the source in IE you will see the column two code but not being displayed.

i tried.... doesnt work. still the same. if you click on any of the categories, ie next page, the left side box will show. it just doesnt show on the front page...

any idea? :dontgetit

Sorry Kitty, but as Kobra said, there's nothing we can suggest without seeing the site.

Aha. There are two big clues here (easy to spot now that I've seen the site!) but should have been obvious to me just from what you'd written already:1. the difference between IE and Mozilla which usually indicates that the page's structure is broken and the browsers are trying to deal with it in different ways
2. that it's better when you click on a category, which implies that it's something specific to the main page.Sure enough, the site fails validation and has a number of illegally placed tags as well as tags being closed that aren't open.

A check of the HTML being displayed on the front page shows that it's a mess of nested and redundant tags, and I suspect that IE thinks that the page finishes earlier than you intend it to.

I also suspect that if you clear up the code generating that block in the center column, your problems will just melt away.

hi Kuroi,

Thanks for having a look.
I can see in the page source in Mozilla under

(copy and paste:)

that there is a HUGE space under <!-- eof: specials -->

I've looked for a few hours already and cant think of where to fix this... I've cleaned it up a bit so its not as messy
PLEASSSSSE help?

OMG!!! ITS FIXED!!! Yipee!!!

Thanks Kuroi!!! and Kobra!!!

Guess what? it was me putting a .pdf file link at the end of the the main page
in simply tools>define pages editor>define_main_page.php

deleting that little tiny thing, refresh and bam! it all came out!!!

:thumbsup:
