At some time in the distant past, I made some changes to my stylesheet here to the sidebar stuff on the right.
margin-left: 66%;
width: 33%;
It looked OK to me (note the “Works for me” button at the bottom of that column). But it had the unfortunate effect, for IE users, of pushing everything in that column to the bottom of the page. That sidebar only had a calendar in it, as far as any if you could tell. IE apparently suffers from some standards compliance issues. I’ll take the blame for not testing it, but this was hardly an esoteric thing I was doing.
Now, I did check it in a couple of browsers (Mozilla and it’s robust progeny — Camino, FireBird) and in KHTML-based browsers (Konqueror and Safari). But even when I was using Windows, I never used IE, so I never noticed this.
mea culpa
As it happens, I am using IE to post this entry, through the magic of Remote Desktop Connection.
