I've designed another passable web-page, and I incorporated a two column layout. The weirdest thing happens in Internet Explorer though. There are two div's that are involved in this error. One is called "content" and holds all the main information, the other is called "news" and floats to the right of the content div.

When the information (text/images) is shorter than the news div, the text in the content div is invisible.

I've demonstrated the page with normal content here, and the page with the invisibility error here

The two pages are linked if you want to switch between them. If you'd like to see the stylsheet it's right here

-Thanks!

Try adding float:left to div#content p.
And don't use double quotes in path to background images in you style sheet.
Last you have some odd characters in the very beginning of your style sheet. Do you use wordpad maybe?

I think using the float the way you are, try nesting the news tag inside the content tag

<div id="content">
<div id="news">
<h1>Current Projects</h1>
<p> Summit Design &amp; Productions has just been hired
 to do the advertisment and graphic design for the Okotoks 
Storytelling Festival.</P>(Close the ptag to..)
</div>
<p>I've got a very weird problem this time around. If this 
content here does not decend below the content in the 
projects div ("news" in the CSS, "Current Projects" on the 
right) the te...

I forgot to validate my code and I'd missed couple tags, however, even when those tags are closed the error continues to occur.

Floating it left was not a very good solution, it actually broke the whole page (but thank you fr the feedback anyway). The reason you may have seen odd characters if because my stylesheet and html are encoded in UTF-8 (maybe).

I have not updated the files at the other end of my link yet, but know that my poor nesting of tags was not the source of this error.
