Wordpress sidebar dropping below content in IE6

Yup, display problems in IE6. I must have done something because the right sidebar is dropping below the center content area. I'm vaguely aware of IE6's many bugs but haven't been able to find the particular problem in this case. I'd appreciate anyone's input.

The site is www.makeupandbeautyblog.com.

Thank you,
Kermit

It looks like you're experiencing the IE double-spacing bug. Give yourself some more breathing room in between the sidebar and the content and see if you can get it to line up properly.

This happens to my blog as well.. It looks ok on some browser versions but something IE 6 makes my blog's sidebar go down below the content body.. You sure this isn't an issue on CSS?

No, it is an issue with the CSS. In you have an element floated to the left, and then you give it a margin-left styling, in IE6 it will be twice as much as specified (i.e. 10px becomes 20px). The same happens with float: right and margin-right. Give yourself some breathing room.

Yes, but there IS a fix for that doubled-float margin bug, and it doesn't require changing the width of your columns. All you need to do is add display: inline to the div(s) that are floated that also have a margin in the same direction as the float.

To do this, you WILL need conditional comments and a separate CSS file that contains ONLY the rules needed to make IE behave.
