# Browser problems!

 * I tried to search for a helpful thread in the forums but I couldn’t find anything.
   My problem is that my website, powered by WP, won’t show up correctly with different
   browsers. It seems as though Google Chrome, the browser I use, shows it perfectly,
   and so does Safari, but IE and Firefox leave out the sidebar. Why the sidebar??
 * The website is at [http://www.xmeow.com/wp](http://www.xmeow.com/wp) and I’d 
   like to know why this is happening – is it in the CSS or something else? How 
   do I fix this and make my site viewable in multiple browsers?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Whaaaaaat?
 * The same problem has occured with at least three layouts, and I can’t make my
   own WP layouts, so I download free ones and change the colours, graphics and 
   so on. Three layouts I downloaded online, and they were all missing div-tags?

 * Well…. your mileage may vary – as anyone’s will – with free themes. Find some
   themes that are advertised as being valid XHTML and valid CSS in the [Themes Directory](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)
   and then you have a good chance they will appear correctly across all browsers.

 * There is problem in theme template. Open your blog in FireFox and view the page
   source. You will get “Red” code in page source.
 * If you have added sidebar widgets, temporary disable all the widgets and add 
   one by one.
