I have my site http://toddj.com which works fine in firefox 3.5, but hardly at all in IE8. I use tumblr and a custom theme that I built off of one of the original themes. I play around with it a lot so I think I've messed something up while doing this.

Here is the entire layout code that perhaps someone can find something I've overlooked:

Are you talking about the scrollbars? The code you pasted has elements I do not recognize. If I get the source from your website, it looks different and I can follow it. You must be using some tool to edit it.

What would you like to change?

I would like to change the fact that it doesn't seem to work in IE at all
the stuff in the curly brackets is tumblr specific, they are variables for the theme.
Here is how people in IE8 are seeing my site
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/496653/Images/ScreenShots/ScreenShot008.png
And I'm assuming it has something to do with my css maybe?

As techsheaven said you need to send the source code as a view source from your browser or send a link. The code you sent earlier is some wierd tumblr stuff. But that is not what the browser sees.

Those {} variables are preprocessed on the serve before being sent out. They really mean nothing in this forum. Just click on View>Page Source and send that.

As techsheaven said you need to send the source code as a view source from your browser or send a link. The code you sent earlier is some wierd tumblr stuff. But that is not what the browser sees.

Those {} variables are preprocessed before being sent out and turned into actuall html/css. They really mean nothing in this forum. Just click on View>Page Source and send that.

Alright, i'll do it in pastebin so it doesn't take up any more space in the thread.
http://pastebin.com/m27df7d3d is what IE8 renders. It stops mid-code for some reason (and not always in the same spot).

http://pastebin.com/mb887c13 is how it displays in opera and firefox.

Sorry for the confusion

For starters you need to clean up as many errors as you can. You have 79 validation errors. And perhaps more. This code aborts in IE6. I'm pretty sure it's in your http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js. When I comment that out it runs but still looks bad. Go to the link below and type in your url. It's free, there is no registration. It will show you the errors.

You can't have 2 or more id= attributes (sidecontent) with the same name. These are unique. If you want to reference a group of items use the class= attribute, then you'll have to change your style sheet too.

Clean it up as best you can. Then we'll take another look.

http://validator.w3.org/

Thanks for the tip, I just decided to scrap the twitter and tag cloud. They weren't all that useful and causing more problems than they were worth.
I managed to get it down to 14 errors, and 3 warnings. All of which are generated by tumblr things that are out of my control.

This has fixed my IE8 problem :)

tddj:

I worked on your site a bit. Moved the CSS to an external sheet. It will need to be in the same directory as the html, you will have to change the link in the html, or paste it back in the html. I did this to make it easier to look at. I did not run either through a validator, but I see others helped you find the problem. The attached version renders in Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE. You'll have to finnish cleaning it up, but I got you started.

Good Luck!
