I originally thought that this was a formbuilder problem but it is also an issue with news items so I guess it's a template or CSS problem.

Here's the original topic:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg71703

If you look at the contact page & the news item "blind driving" you'll notice that the content is pushed to the bottom of the page in IE 6 & lower. It's only happening on those two pages so far but they are using the same template & CSS as all the other pages. Has anyone got an idea as to why this is happening...& why only on those two pages? ???

thanks in advance, Steve

Usually these "Content pushed down" problems with IE are caused by 2 reasons.

1. 3 pixel Bug in IE6
2. Content is wider than the space it's supposed to fit is stretching it's container and making it drop to first available space it fits.

In those 2 cases both happens because content is wider than container width. Fixes for you.

Add to your stylesheet:

textarea#m5_16 {width:300px;}

And on the other reduce the width of group photo.
