<SOLVED> Empty space in IE using News module

[glenster]

Hi... I feel as though I'm beating a dead horse, but I truly can't figure out *how* to fix what might be a common (and most likely easily fixable) problem.

I'm running CMSMS 1.4.1 - and everything runs correctly. I'm using the stock "Left simple navigation + 1 column" template and I've found that it looks great in Firefox but not in IE6 or 7 - it appears to be the "Box" problem described elsewhere in the forums: the main page content appears below the left-hand menu and news, leaving a large blank space at the top.

May I ask someone to tell me exactly what needs to be changed in the "Left simple navigation + 1 column" template and associated CSS files to fix the problem? I'm really feeling pretty stupid at this point! 

Many thanks!

A link would help as I have no problem with this template...

I apologize; the content is pretty cheesey at the moment! The url is http://www.2multiples.com/hotdance

Thanks for your help!

The problem is because you use a table in your content with 100% width:

Code: Select all

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" width="100%">

The table inherits the width of its parent (content div) which leaves no space for the sidebar.
Remove the 100% width from the tables and it should be ok.

Yikes! How could I be so blind and stupid! (Let me count the ways!) 

Thank you!
