I just finished installing my word press theme, and then i found that IE doesn't like it. So i went through the source for each part of the theme. I couldn't find the problem. Basically the side bar keep droping and it wont stay in place in IE. In FF it works fine. And help is welcome

Here my CSS

This is just a guess, but you might want to try something like this:

old code:
background: url(images/sidebar.gif) no-repeat top right;

Try this:
background: url(http://www.notaless.hostmatrix.org/images/sidebar.gif) no-repeat top right;

I rember having some trouble with the url tag when I was just listing images/someimagename.gif. So what fixed it for me was to list the hole url site address, and after that it started working. So I am hoping that it is the same case for you! :tazz:
