code help

Can anybody help? I added something to my blog (the sloganizer I talk about in the fun blogging tools forum), and it seems that in IE my posts do not begin until after my sidebar is over. It looks fine in Firefox (of course) and in Netscape, but I've been told (and I checked) that things are screwy in IE.

Any suggestions?

Viki....

I think you put the code in the side bar section.

Try moving it ABOVE the sidebar section.

Look at my original post to you and try inserting in these different places and then check in IE. You can use both browsers at the same time to check.

Click in the CODE box below on the expand link. It is hard to see because of the font color. (One more thing I need to fix for this XP Theme when I get a chance.

Thanks, ZZ. I'll try that. I had so thought I'd put it in the right place. I should know better to check it in IE in addition to firefox.

I can't seem to make anything work in IE, so I'm taking the whole damn sloganizer out.

However, I think I tinkered with it too much and fucked it up, because even with the sloganizer removed, in IE the posts don't begin until after the sidebar.

I must have deleted something important. And no, I'm an idiot and didn't save the whole thing. I've been banging my head against the desk for about fifteen minutes.

Here's the code from the main template. Does anything jump out at you as missing and possibly causing this problem? I did the same damn thing on my other "anonymous" blog, and it has caused the posts to just not appear at all in IE!

I have seen this kind of thing happen as a result of DIV tags not being closed right or align fxn not being set right. It still renders ok in Firefox so you must have messed up when you first made the move from where you had it.

First rule ... always always always back up when you hare happy with your site.

If you don't have a back up... you can PM me with your login information (whatever you do don't post it here !!) and I might be able to fix it. No guarantees... but I will try for you. You can change your password after I make an attempt. First back up what you have now first even though it is not working right. That way it will not get worse... if you feel brave let me get in there and have a look. Also would be a good idea to let me know what blogging software you use and if you have a CSS file associated with your template or not.
