Problem with layout in Firefox

I’m having trouble getting my layout to work right in Firefox, it’s fine in IE. My design is based on the standard Textpattern styles, with a couple of relatively minor mod’s.

I have 2 classes defined, #header-area for a logo and #search-area for the search/browse boxes. These are wrapped in a full width class, inside #head which is itself inside #container. #sidebar-1 is being used for a link list and section list.

In IE everything appears where I would expect, but in Firefox the contents of #sidebar-1 are rendered below and to the right of #header-area and I can’t find any solution.

Any help would be appreciated. I hope I’ve given enough details.

Could you post a link to the site? It’s hard to diagnose CSS problems without being able to actually look at them…

The blog is at http://www.aholidayinturkey.co.uk/ahitblog

Thanks, wasn’t sure what the policy was about linking to sites.

Sorry but I’ve just found the answer to this. Firefox was not setting any height to the #full-width class I was using, so the #sidebar-1 was lining up under that. I added a height attribute and it is now working fine.

Thanks for looking anyway.

Heh. Sometimes that happens; you post to a forum or a mailing list for help and a few minutes later figure it out.

As for linking, there’s no problem with it that I’m aware of; there’s a forum specifically for showing off TXP-powered sites, but here in the CSS/layout area it’s more often useful than not to have a link to the site to look at and poke to figure out problems ;)
