Page content drops vertically

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 16.2008

Hi Folks;

I am a volunteer webmaster for a group of Rotary Clubs, and have spent most of my spare time since as long as I can remember preparing a re-launch of a website backed with a new database.

I have a problem which is driving me round the bend. Validating hasn’t fixed it, as it does 60% of my intractable problems. I haven’t been able to find anything on the net – perhaps haven’t hit on the right keywords to describe the problem.

Essentially, on a small number of pages, including my index page, some users in IE find that the main body content drops vertically to just below the bottom of the menu in the left hand navigation div.

After many hundreds of hours developing and tweaking the database and website, I can’t launch because some users will not be able to see it properly.

Can anyone tell me what I’ve done wrong?

My development site is [URL=”http://d7040.rotarynepean.ca”]http://d7040.rotarynepean.ca[/URL]. You can recreate the problem in IE by narrowing the window until the content drops. Doesn’t seem to be a problem in Firefox.

Many many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

@scaiferwauthorMar 16.2008 — I've realized that an un-validated file has gotten in here, have to clean it up before I ask for help.

I can't see a way top delete or edit the post myself.

I've cleaned up all possible errors. There are just a handful of errors left, related to the youtube embedding code and an ampersand in text pulled from a database. I'm not sure how to deal with that but I've confirmed through process of elimination that they are not causing the problem.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Success!
