Design + Coding > Internet Exporer shifts page content area
I don't have a fix for you - but just looking at it I suspect the issue is due to the fact you are laying this out using tables instead of CSS. It seems (from what others have remarked) the use of tables is discouraged design and text elements unless you are actually presenting "tabular data"..... You may want to search the forum or via google about table issues in IE ... i did a quick search on it and found most issue centered on lack of closing tags- lack of width specifications and error code syntax. hth for now,

I looked at this too and could not see what the problem was. It's difficult to debug IE problems because the normal debugging tools don't work.
But one important hint may be that the footer is also not appearing. Since the footer is quite separate from the page content, I would tackle this problem as a page structure issue, not as a content issue. The problem may be unbalanced divs somewhere in your page or footer. I looked at the source briefly and could not see anything obvious.
If you cannot see an instance of unbalanced divs in your html, then I would approaching debugging as follows: Remove everything from both your content and footer areas, then start adding elements back, one at a time, beginning with the outermost container elements in each area. That should allow you to isolate the cause of the problem.

Thanks for the responses. I've used the 'debugging approach' to rebuild the main page content area using CSS instead of tables. The site now loads better in IE. Now to tackle the footer issues.

The following site http://rodeoponytest.squarespace.com I am working on loads fine in most browsers except you guessed it (Internet Explorer). The page content area is not loading correctly in any version of IE. The site loads perfectly fine in Firefox, Safari, Opera. I have sent a support ticket to Squarespace. Their recommendation was to write a custom CSS to resolve the IE issue. I am not an established enough programmer to develop the needed code. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
scott
