IE doesn't look like FF or Chrome

Hi Tom can you please take a look at http://sandgroper.net/?p=414 and confirm IE has the sidebar under the content, but it's ok in FF and Chrome?
Oh yea, there's something funky going on.
Could be an HTML issue in one of your posts/widgets?
Can you see anything that might be causing it
Not really without having to dig really deep. Use an HTML validator and look for unclosed HTML tags.
Any ideas why it looks fine in FF and Chrome but not in IE?
IE is less forgiving than FF and Chrome.
If you run your code through a validator you'll see you have some errors in there that need to be fixed.
I saw the validation errors, and I know they're trying to tell me what to do but I really don't know what?
Out of the blue I added a </div> to the very end of my comments.php and it seems to have fixed the IE issue! I have noooooo idea how or why it would!
That's one way to do it, but you're most likely just slapping a band-aid on the problem.
I'm assuming the un-closed HTML element is somewhere in your content/widgets.
Found the culprit... that's what you get for playing around with the comments.php file!
Glad you found it :)
