As seen on http://browsershots.org/png/full/79/798c47d37e283afc6e8d5f3e32f3ec17.png, my right sidebar drops all the way to the bottom of my page in IE6, and I cannot figure out what causes this.

Any suggestions anyone?

make the width of that div smaller (very small) and see if it at least is positioned properly

if yes make sure that this div is not in need of more width then the containing div can give it

beware that IE considers "border" and "padding" as part of the width of a div (unlike mozilla)
in your calculations also you have to consider any margin you have assigned the inner divs

hope it helps

Thanks for the reply.

Which DIV is this you are referring to?
class= Content?

Will give it a try.

it could be probably fixed with changing either one of those

div#container
div#main
div#squeeze
div.node
div.content

some good debugging techniques would be

make all the relevant div's borders, margins and paddings 0
I actually like to have some borders:1px solid red; just to see where the divs are positioned

or I use the mozilla built in developer toolbar > "outline current element" function (helps a lot)

Seems to be fixed now. Thanks!
I changed the margin from 210px to 212px

body.both-sidebars #main {
  margin: 0 -212px;
}

In layout.css

...used firebug to troubleshoot

Damn you are right firebug is so much nicer for liver debugging

there is also IE developer's toolbar which should be similar to firebug (but I can't get it to run properly, must be because of all the IE's 5,5.5,6,7 that I have installed in my winXP box)

This is a 2 year old support request ... and has been fixed and closed

if the above approach does not help

search the rest of the queue http://drupal.org/project/issues/zen for similar issues and
if you can't find anything post a new support request
BUT
you have to show that you have tried SOMETHING (don't expect US to solve it for you)
and describe the nature of your problem thoroughly (with screenshot if possible)

the more you put into a support request the more you will get ...
