IE Hiding Right Column

[jonathonra]

Hi, I'm having some trouble with IE hiding the contents of the right column on my website. I have tested it in firefox and opera and everything seems fine but it's just IE that's playing up. Here's a link:

I'd appreciate it if you could help. Thanks

I'm guessing, but there's a rule in there which says:

#leftColumn, #middleColumn, #rightColumn * html #SOWrap
{
	overflow: visible;	/* fix for IE italics bug */
	position: relative;	/* fix some rendering issues */
}

This should probably be

#leftColumn, #middleColumn, #rightColumn[red],[/red] * html #SOWrap
{
	overflow: visible;	/* fix for IE italics bug */
	position: relative;	/* fix some rendering issues */
}

Ah genius cheers. How on earth did you spot that.

Just looking through your CSS to see what rules applied to #rightColumn. Amazing what a fresh set of eyes can do, isn't it?

Personally, when designing a new layout, I like to start as simple as possible - just the basic boxes with a little plain text content. Then get the CSS positioning working properly before I start worrying about fonts and colours and whatnot. The less code you have to look at, the easier it is to debug - and the layout code ususally needs a lot more debugging than anything else!
