 * I am working on a site right now using the Chaotic Soul Theme. I am having formatting
   issues on Windows. It looks fine on mac but on windows the sidebar is pushed 
   down below the main frame.
 * You can view the page here: [http://www.lostsummitfilms.com/main](http://www.lostsummitfilms.com/main)
 * I need this site up and running tomorrow night. Any help is very appreciated.
   
   Thanks, Brandon
 * And the code from the sidebar is below:
    <div id=”sidebar”>
 * <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>
 * <?php if (is_single()) { ?>
 *  <h3>About This Post</h3>
    <p class=”postmetadata alt”> <small> This entry was
   posted <?php /* This is commented, because it requires a little adjusting sometimes.
   You’ll need to download this plugin, and follow the instructions: [http://binarybonsai.com/archives/2004/08/17/time-since-plugin/](http://binarybonsai.com/archives/2004/08/17/time-since-plugin/)*//*
   $entry_datetime = abs(strtotime($post->post_date) – (60*120)); echo time_since(
   $entry_datetime); echo ‘ ago’; */ ?> on <?php the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’) ?> at <?
   php the_time() ?> and is filed under <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>. You can follow
   any responses to this entry through the <?php comments_rss_link(‘RSS 2.0’); ?
   > feed.
 *  <?php if ((‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && (‘open’ == $post->ping_status)){
   //
   Both Comments and Pings are open ?> You can [leave a response](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-problem-with-sidebar/?output_format=md#respond),
   or ” rel=”trackback”>trackback from your own site.

   //

   >trackback from your own site.
 *  <?php } elseif ((‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && !(‘open’ == $post->ping_status)){

 * It looks fine in firefox – problem in IE.
    There are plenty of posts about this
   if you do a search.
 * also, fixing these might help.
