    anyone have any idea why this would break in IE 5/6 for windows?
    #sidebar {
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    margin: 5px 10px 0 25px;
    padding: 2px 2px 2px 13px;
    width: 140px;
    }
    ???

    What do you mean by ‘break’ exactly ?

    Well, according to windows IE5/6 users, the site using this code above displays the sidebar on top of the posts.
    it’s hard to get a screenshot, or better explanation from a windows user ( i love the grab tool, and paparazzi!)
    i have, since this post, read that IE 5/6 can display floats, but there are two issues with it.
    1. auto embedded line breaks
    2. added margins (doubled actually)
    so using display:inline is supposed to solve at least those issues, while not affecting any other browser’s display.
    i’ve added it, but since i’m on a mac and the page looks lovely in seven browsers anyway, there’s no way to know if it’s solved the “issue.”
