IE expanding box bug Posted December 29, 2005 at 11:55 am

I’ve added a CSS fix to the site to work around the Internet Explorer expanding box bug. In a nutshell, IE will incorrectly expand a fixed-width block element if the block is populated with oversized content. On this site, that means that the sidebar can drop below the enter content block.

I employed the overflow:hidden workaround on my left-hand content block as described in the linked article on Position Is Everything. Thanks go to Titus for reporting the problem.
