Hi folks. I love the three-column, two-sidebar format with one left sidebar and one right sidebar. The problem I’m having is the sidebar on the left side of the text area goes all the way to the left edge, and there’s absolutely no margin over there. The text is almost running off that area. How can I fix that?

Peace,

Donna

We know about that limitation.

I’ll do some tests and see if I can come up with some CSS to improve the spacing.

I’m also using the 3 colum, 1 left and 1 right sidebar. In Internet Explorer 8 on windows XP, the main text overlaps the left side bar if compatibility modus is switched on (which I think is the default). If I switch compatibility modus off, the site looks ok, although there some strange things while loading. Chrome is ok both on XP and windows 7, as is IE 9 on windows 7.

Anything I can do to make this work on IE 8?

Hi!

Could you each show us link to your site so we can investigate this further?

Also, Ben, the compatibility mode for IE8 is not enabled by default and when it is on, it’s pretty much like IE7 which we don’t support.

The problem appears when I use IE 8 with compatibility mode in windows XP. If I understand you correctly, that would make IE8 work like it is IE7, right?
