Hello,
I am kindly asking for help hoping that a dozen pairs of eyes might see
more than I do.
A friend of mine has a Wordpress blog: http://run-united.com
He told me that after he changed something, there was a problem in the
start page: The right column containing certain widgets was suddenly
pushed down below the main column with the recent article's teaser
texts. Almost as if if suddenly had a "clear: " defined.
One problem when analyzing is that browsers sometimes do some
yutocorretion of html text, closing elements who's closing tags are
missing etc.
But here is what I found out: On the startpage the structure within the
#main div is (viewed in Firefox/Firebug)
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
</div>
<div id="primary">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
However, if I look at the source code, I see a comment naxt to a closing
</div> saying that this ends the #container, and AFTER that the
div#primary begins.
If I click on an article (e.g. http://run-united.com/?p=3452), the error
doesn't occur on that page. And in Firebug I see that the div#pimary
comes AFTER the div#container.
Thus I guess the problem is that on the startpage somehow a tag is not
properly closed or something like that, and Firefox and other browsers
do some autocorrection that results in the div#primary being within the
div#container. And that results in the css rules being executed in a
wrong way and in the div#primary being pushed down.
Has anybody had a similar problem and maybe knows the cause for this?
My friend deleted the last article/post he added, but the error stayed.
I looked at the the contents of both the last articles and the widgets
within the admin panel of the Worpress blog, but I couldn't find any
tags that weren't closed properly.
I apologize if this is the wrong mailing list for such a problem. Just
let me know and I won't bother any more. Otherwise any help would be
appreciated.

Christian
