# Embed, Object, iFrame problems

 * When I insert a post into my wordpress (2.0.5) site that contains either the 
   embed, object or iframe tags. The body content falls under the sidebar. This 
   only occurs in Internet Explorer, it displays fine in FFox, Opera, Flock and 
   Netscape.
 * As you can imagine this presents quite a problem when including post items such
   as googleAds, YouTube videos and the like.
 * I assume these tags share a common trait thats causing this. If anyone has any
   ideas as to what it could be or a fix, I would be very greatful.
 * TIA

 * without seeing an actual example of your problem youre only going to get a generic
   answer, and its the same exact answer that 1000 other “sidebar fallen” posts 
   have gotten.
 * 1. Your attempting to insert something into a fixed width div that exceeds that
   fixed width. In other words, you cannot put a “thing” that is 600px wide into
   a fixed width div thats only 400px wide. It doesnt matter if the theing is an
   image, a .swf, a.fla, .. if its too big, its too big.
 * You also need to bear in mind, that IE (6) handles padding and margins differently
   than all those other browsers you mentioned. THAT must be taken into account 
   when determining how much room you have available within any fixed width div.
 * 2. youre pasting from word.
 * 3. Youre (mis)using italics, and havent taken into account the fact that IE6 
   handles italics slightly different than regular text.
 * and so on, and so on, and so on.
 * lastly, and again, without actually seeing, this is generic advice.. if your 
   site doesnt validate.. well then, it’s pretty much a crap shoot how any browser
   will display it.
