Hello, my site at http://pubsub.sourceforge.net displays just fine in
FF and Chrome. I'm getting a hang of this CSS stuff :) I'm not doing
anything really fancy: some divs with some float:left and some widths
so that things fit nicely together (some of the HTML is autogenerated
-- not mine -- but still simple).

However, in IE6 (haven't tried ealier versions), the right sidebar
(localsidebarpanel) is off in never land and its color is completely
wrong and can't be changed (weird!). I tested with IE 7 and 8 based on
output from http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ and the layout is even
worse, and still same color problem.

I've been banging my head against this for hours and hours... looked
at several web pages (such as
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/10/19/the-mystery-of-css-float-property/)
that discuss float-related bugs in IE but I can't find anything that
clearly corresponds to the observed screwiness. I tried zoom:1 or a
width in the floating blocks to trigger hasLayout property specific to
IE crapiness. But that didn't really help: in IE 6, the splitsidebar
that's *in the "document" block* is then once more at the same level
as the containing div (that's an improvement), with scroll bars, but
the localsidebarpanel div that should be *inside* that splitsidebar is
still floating in space and still has the wrong color.

Anyways I figure a more experienced person will probably know very
easily what the problem is.
Cheers,
Oliver
