I do the coding for the PolkOut comic and recently I added in columns to the page so that I could ad ad's on the sides of the page. It looks great on Firefox Google Chrome and Safari, but IE is apparently having some problems, it shoves the comic and header down to the center of the ads. Since plenty of people use IE me and Polkster(the comic creator) figure that we should try and figure out what's wrong and what I can do to fix it. So I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what I should do to the current code to make it work on IE or if there is a better way to put ads on the sides of the comic.

And for reference here's the code I'm using:

I'm crap with Css... I've had trouble with the same fort of thing with cross browser support for Css positioning before.
Personally, I just do everything with old fashioned tables. It's the only coding that really does seem to be 100% cross browser as well as working with almost all the old browsers as well.
I'm using Css? I thought I was using HTML. I also thought I was using old fashioned tables. Hmm. Could you possibly post a link to a site that can help me with tables?
Speak softly and carry a big stick to hit people who don't know when to shut up.
Ha, sorry man, I just skimmed the code after having looked at your site in 3 different browsers and seeing the display problems in IE.
OK... I'll have another look at your table coding.
It turns out then that it's NOT 100% cross browser
When IE messes up with with tables it;s because something was missed out that it expect. IE is extremely punctilious about certain kinds of coding and expects everything to be exact and in the correct order, whereas most other browsers are more forgiving of mistakes.
OK, had a look. Yeah, you had some obvious little errors in there, like table tags with no closing bracket, and P tag with the wrong closer (/right). I'll just upload it for you on your comic and test it out.
