[Resolved] IE doesn't look like FF or Chrome

[Pete]

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?

[Tom]

Oh yea, there’s something funky going on.

Could be an HTML issue in one of your posts/widgets?

[Pete]

Can you see anything that might be causing it

[Tom]

Not really without having to dig really deep. Use an HTML validator and look for unclosed HTML tags.

[Pete]

Any ideas why it looks fine in FF and Chrome but not in IE?

[Tom]

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.

[Pete]

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!

content-single-post.php
comments.php

[Tom]

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.

[Pete]

Found the culprit… that’s what you get for playing around with the comments.php file!

[Tom]

Glad you found it 🙂
