I'm working on a website, at http://flatface.net/~chrissi/newindex.php . Since it's still in progress, some things will look funny. That's because I'm not done with it.

But there are two buggy behaviors that I can't figure out.

One: In firefox and mozilla, the links on the right-hand bar are unclickable.

Two: In IE, the content section appears below the right-hand bar.

Could anyone help me? You can see the source code by viewing source on the page I linked. Please remember not everything looks perfect yet - there are some other mistakes but I know how to fix them and will fix them soon. I just want to know if anybody knows how to fix these two behaviors.

Doesn't seem like I can edit the thread.

I fixed the problem with firefox/moz's unclickable links. It was really simple... one of the divs was extending over the right side because I told the wrong one to have a margin and allow for the menu. I told the inner one ("inner") rather than the outer one ("content").

I still can't figure out what IE is doing though! Float:left doesn't fix it.

My friend who knows a lot about this sort of stuff checked it out and couldn't find anything wrong with my code... but it STILL doesn't work correctly in IE. It's really screwed up. Pretty much everything else is fixed, but this problem won't go away. He also said it might be because the menu code is above the content code, so he tried switching them around but it didn't do anything to help this problem.

Does anybody know about this and why IE/Opera would do this? I like my layout but I don't want to have to rely on it working in a few select browsers. :(

I wish I could help you, I had a similar problem once and just had to trash it. :(

:( This appears to be IE/Opera's fault (nobody can find a thing wrong with my code...) and nobody can tell me what might work around this...

So i'm keeping it... not trashing it. I love the layout. I have a note on the bottom of my site saying how much trouble I've had with IE and why it looks funny in that browser.
