my blog page, http://blog.rossputin.com, truncates the page (in the middle of posts) at the level of the end of the sidebar when viewing in IE. It continues the main posts past the end of the sidebar (as it should) in Firefox.

any thoughts on how to fix IE problem?

thanks!

page cannot be found.

I got there through http://www.rossputin.com

educated guess that your problem is here:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.rossputin.com/blog/index.php

those sorts of issues are nearly always due to validation mishaps; thats why its SO important to validate sites before looking at other things..

edit: the brunt of your errors are related to list tags, which, in my experience, can cause about as many problems as open <div> tags. Fixing those will more than likely make ie play nice.

Hi Whoo,

I've fixed most of the tags so far (there used to be about 30), but I must say I don't really know what I'm doing....

The original link didn't work because I had a comma in it...it should be http://blog.rossputin.com

I'll try to fix more tags and see what happens.

thanks

I don't have time right now to go through each of your errors, but one thing you might want to try doing is replacing your italic tags with blockquote tags. Then in your css file you can setup your blockquote style the way you want.

One problem you have is that your file is set to be XHTML Transitional and yet you're still closing your tags br tags the old fashioned way. Try

<br />

Anyway, hope that gets you further along. Gotta run.

thanks all for your help...I still have a lot to learn about this stuff.

seems it was an extra /div tag.

big thanks to scott kimler for pointing it out to me!
