Thank you very much Georg! After adding your suggested style rule, I get these results at Browsershots.org: Screenshot request group 5 <http://browsershots.org/http://deflexion.com/> MSIE 5.5 and MSIE 6.0 on Windows 2000 now both have the left sidebar - yay! But the text in the sidebar stops part way down the page (and then, I assume, continues below the mainClm, (it's not shown in the image)). For MSIE 7.0 on Windows XP, the left sidebar is there, but it's empty. I assume that all the text appears below the mainClm text (again this isn't shown in the image). So, it is better than before [*], but still not great. I wonder if I should include a standards mode Doctype in this page, e.g.: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> Or if that will cause more problems than it solves? And I wonder why Blogger didn't use a Doctype in this template in the first place?! Thank you again for your help. I know the best course is for me to redsign the entire page using standards mode and clean CSS, but if you have any thoughts about my wonderings above. Or suggestions for temporary fixes, I appreaciate them.
