Resolved – IE rendering incorrectly – PLS HELP

[yellowcake]

Hi folks… this is the situ, i have a site built on a mac using DW. viewing through firefox, opera and safari on the mac everything displays as it should. On the PC firefox and safari and opera also display correctly, but good ol IE puts the header background along with the content underneath the header.

the site is here http://www.wigglytail.com.au/v2

Any thoughts, ideas much appreciated

Cheers

Heres the code:

Code:

@charset “UTF-8”;
body {
margin: 0; /* it’s good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #ffffff;

color:#216db6;
font-size:12px;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
.twoColFixLtHdr #container {
width: 780px; /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 3px solid #00adef;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
.twoColFixLtHdr #header {
background: #DDDDDD;
padding: 0 10px 0 20px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
background-image: url(images/headerBG.png);
height: 252px;
}
.twoColFixLtHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse – an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
}
.twoColFixLtHdr #sidebar1 {
float: left; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
width: 310px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-right: 10px;

padding-left: 20px;
border: 0px solid #000000;

background:#ffffff;
text-align: center;

}
.twoColFixLtHdr #footer p {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse – a space between divs */
padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
}
.fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page. The floated element must precede the element it should be next to on the page. */
float: right;
margin-left: 8px;
}
.fltlft { /* this class can be used to float an element left in your page */
float: left;
margin-right: 8px;
}
.clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */

thanks for your thoughts guys.. after some fiddling it seems to be working now in 6 – 7 and 8 (according to browsershots that is)

turns out that i’d forgotten to close a <div> which was upsetting it! ..

Cheers
Al
