Why does my sidebar line up fine in Firefox but not IE?
So I'm rebuilding my theatre company's website and i can't for the life of me get the sidebar to line up right in IE. (screen shot) The side bar is contained in a div which is floated to the right in a div that contains the whole body.
Here is the CSS.
Here is the HTML for the sidebar.
And here is the main page.
Thanks.

IE has various problems with css margins, in that it has a whole different idea how margins and padding should work. Here is the most common annoying side effect. Looks like your problem.
In general, using some kind of css-reset as your first stylesheet can save you hours and hours of figuring out what the hell Explorer is smoking.

Response by poster: I don't think that is the problem rokusan. I played around with the margin and it doesn't seem to fix it. I guess the problem is only in IE 7 after looking at it in IE 8. Thanks for the link to CSS Newbie though.
