I have a problem with ie6 pushing the content in the right column down. http://www.stmatthewsrandolph.org. Anyone have any idea why this happens only in ie6 and how I might fix it? Thanks for any help.

I can conflict with some of your modules, have you tried to unpublish all the extra modules one by one to find the template killer ? 🙂

No matter what module I put in the right column it pushes down but ONLY in IE6. IE7 & Firefox work fine.

I’ve just posted the following to the forum but thought I would put it here incase you missed. Hope it works for you. —-

Seems to be a regular request for a fix for the problem of the right hand column moving down. My experience so far is that the Events calendar is the problem. There is already a fix for the earlier version which appear already on this forum, and a different fix for the new/latest version which I managed to achieve today.

To fix older version go to Modules folder and open mod_extcalendar_minical.php and find these numbers – 135px and 139px and change them to 100%.

In the new version this has moved and is now found in mod_events_cal.css, and here the number is 140px. It appears twice and in each case should be changed to 100%.

Hope this helps someone with the problem. Rember, if you are using Firefox you may not know you have a problem. As always, it is important to check you site in IE.

Thanks for the possible solution but this does not work for me. I do not have either the php or css files you say to look for in my Joomla installation. Any other ideas?

I found it! after about 2 days of raking over CSS I managed to find a workaround for this.

I also had an issue where ANY module when positioned in the RIGHT column would push down to the bottom of the screen when set to NARROW width in the tool menu. This only occurrs in IE6.

Find the file “template_css.css” in the /templates/ja_zibal/css/ directory.
Open it and modify the code at about line 922 that reads.

/* 3 column content width */
#ja-content {
width: 410px;
float: left;
}

simply change the width from 410 to 408 and it will work great. a good work around for me anyway. I hope this still helps others out there.

Hi All.

I’ve tried the methods as described in the previous posts, but none applied.

Our site is http://www.archivist.it and IE 6 still does not show it correctly. Please Help.

My solution (above your post) was for the 3 column version. If you are only using a 2 column version I would try looking in the code for a 2 or RIGHT column version part of the CSS that gives you the width of the main content area. then just reduce the width by 2 or more pixels. You could check that you have the right width in the CSS by changing it to take our more space (like 50 pixels less) then you should be able to see the main content text will have a big gap on the right side. I hope that might help.

I just had a better look at the site and found something that could be causing your problem. The image you have on the top of your HOME page may be too wide on the page. this will force the right column down. try taking out that image first then if that works just make the image a bit smaller.

Thank you very much: the problem was picture-related; I resized the center img and everything looks fine now.
Have a nice day!

unfortunately it requires you remove one of the items in your right sidebar that is casusing the side bar to bump out. Something in there is too big. Keep taking them out till you find the item. you can also try going into the code and editing th esize until it fits.
