Other than < p > destroys sidebar in IE
While fiddling with mdp_calendar (which is actually great and certainly not part of the problem) I found out that placement of anything else than < p > within the < li >…< /li > in the sidebar destroys sidebar layout in IE. All content below the item moves down, out of sight. Firefox and Opera show no problem. It is really annoying and I have no idea how to solve it. Any help directing me to a solution would be very much appreciated.
I set up an example with an img (see below header ‘TEST’ on my site ). Please see for yourselves.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Other than < p > destroys sidebar in IE
Well, that’s probably because, the headers itself are enclosed inside as list Items, that shouldn’t really be that way.
So the correct order should be
<code><h3>your sidebarheader</h3>
<ul><li><p>some paragraph or whatever</p></li>
<li>next list Item</li>
</ul></code>
I dont’ know how the code was generated, but if a plugin does so, then I would go and change the plugin code, so it doesn’t do that.

Sounded plausible, changed it, didn’t solve the problem.
Thanks for your help though.

1. Why are you using an unordered list in the sidebar? Using headers and paragraphs should be enough…
2. Ypur #page is 600px wide, the margin-left on your #sidebar is 451px and you have a padding-right of 12px in #sidebar. The image you’re displaying is 141px wide, while the width that’s left inside #sidebar is 600 – 451 – 12 = 137px. So IE pushes it all downwards. (I think this is a box model thing…)
…Prrrrrrrr…

1. Don’t know. This is how it came out of the box. I’ll try to change that later.
2. You’re right. Seems I miscalculated things. A smaller image corrects the issue. Thank you!
So the table created by mdp-calendar is too wide. I will try to make it narrower. Thanks again.
