Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Given that you have some content which looks like it's appearing inside other content, if I were you I'd start by double checking that all your tags are closed (i.e., that you don't have a <div> that's missing its </div>).

But it's hard to tell from what you've posted . . . If the page is hosted somewhere and you can link to it, that would make it easier to debug.

God, of course! Sorry I forgot the link... Long day.

And the thing also is, it works fine in all browsers but IE, should I just change some setting in the IE CSS (already using cond. comments) or is it something else? Bashed my head up against it all day.

It depends.... sometimes things are broken in IE because of IE not complying to CSS standards (although in my experience IE 8 is much better about basic CSS compliance than previous versions -- not that that's saying much). In that case, sure, you could stick some new CSS in a conditional comment. Other times though it could be that you've made a genuine mistake -- such as my suggestion that you might be missing a closing tag -- and it's just that the other browsers you're testing on are doing a better job guessing what you *meant* to say. In that case, you'll want to actually fix the bug.

Ok thanks Tim, I'll go through and check it all with a fine toothed e-comb.

Answer 2

A:

I added:

<div class="clear"></div>

with the css:

.clear
{
    clear: both;
    width: 100%;
    height: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    float: none !important;
}

Between the two boxes. Fixed it right up :)
