Hi jrpoole.

Looking at your page construction and CSS, I notice that you are using percentages to position your #sidebar and #main blocks. #sidebar has a width of 29% but #main is without a width. Technically not needed as a DIV should stretch the maximum available space, but you may want to have one anyway. That could solve your problem in IE.

Hi Jay,

Yes Michel is right, set #content{width:100%} and your problem is gone!

cheers,
