I am working on a layout for LiveJournal. Everything is set up and works fine in Forefox. However, there is a a slight problem in IE.

There is a sidebar area to the right of the main content and it doesn't show up in IE. Then, if you de-maximize (is there a word for that?) the screen, it shows up. However, then it creates the problem of a nearly infinitely long browser window. It's something I've never seen before. You could scroll for days and never reach the end.

I'm pretty sure the problem is within the div code. I'm hoping there's some simple fix one of you know of.

The journal is here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kelbellene/). Thank you for any help!

I think your problem is the background image. You should have a small background that tiles down instead of having your header image as the background, and put the header in the LASTN_WEBSITE part. Then, if you really want the different colors around the navigation, try using tables instead of images.

I've seen this before, and that seemed to fix the problem.
