# Internet Explorer Error – Comments Float Right

 * I am having a terrible time trying to figure out why the comment window on my
   posts floats to the right in Internet Explorer. I have combed through my style
   sheet, all my code, run a browser compatibility test on all of my PHP pages, 
   and cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on.
 * An example of the page can be found here:
 * [Gate 21 [http://gate21.net/2008/09/02/tennessee-vs-ucla-quick-postgame-thoughts/]](http://gate21.net/2008/09/02/tennessee-vs-ucla-quick-postgame-thoughts/)
 * In Firefox, it looks fine. I deployed a revised version of my theme about a month
   ago, and everything seemed fine. Since then, I have only looked at the site in
   IE once or twice, so I really don’t know when it all changed. Any thoughts or
   help would be greatly appreciated!

 * I’m looking at it in IE7 and FF3 and don’t notice anything different, so am not
   sure what you are seeing.

 * Well, I found part of the problem by removing a “Contained Float Fix” bit from
   the style sheet:
 *     ```
       .post
       {
       display:none
       display: block;
       overflow:hidden;
       width:98%;
       }
       ```
   
 * But when I do that the “responses to” the post line now shows up to the center
   of the page between the navigation (older / newer posts)
    Any idea how to correct
   that?

 * Well, my work around was just that — a temporary work around. I have re-enabled
   the code, because it was creating a situation where I was using an un-defined
   class. Thus, can some one give me some guidance on how I fix this problem? In
   Firefox everything looks fine, in IE, the comments float right (beginning at 
   about the middle of the screen.
 * Here is a link to an example:

 * I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out.

 * You have LOTS of code errors (especially in your text widgets), but those most
   likely to cause a section of your site to become displaced are unclosed/improperly
   nested div tags. Since there are so many errors to wade through, search [this error report](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgate21.net%2F2008%2F09%2F02%2Fsec-power-poll-week-1%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.591)
   for **end tag for “div” omitted** and at least fix these errors.
