I use Internet Explorer 7, and I'm working on this page:
http://radiumv.phatcode.net/testabate/
When testing it at school in IE6, it looks bad - the sidebars don't do what I want them to. I need them to go all the way down the page as the main page content gets longer - not just stretch for the content inside the sidebars. It looks fine in IE7 and Firefox 2, but since most people still have IE6, it looks ugly. I've tried all I know how.

Insert some PHP or SHTML that says to make this page appear correctly you must upgrade to the latest version of IE or Firefox with a download link to it.
Or, better yet, "forget" to give updating IE as an option...
The only problem with that - these people this site is for aren't neccessarily computer-savvy. I don't think they'd know how to update IE7 properly...
So, there's no way for it to work correctly in IE6? I mean, it stretches it in Dreamweaver (I use it for professional sites).
You might want to run it thru the w3c validator...you've got a div error on line 61.
Non-computer-savvy = "low-understanding-of-security" = probably-not-very-good-anti-virus-program. Therefore, send them a virus which automatically installs IE or Firefox.
Looks good in Safari. What are you using to build the site? Dreamweaver, iWeb, Office?
I'm thinking frames have something to do with it... maybe not... did you look at XHTML for Dummies?

I'm using Dreamweaver, but I'll have to start using Office soon - it's what everyone else on the Publications Committee uses (I get it for free!)
Now that I removed that tag, it's XHTML 1.0 valid, and the calendar div tag is a correct length.
