I'm sorry, but that Turkey & Gravy Gravy soda?!
I'm getting queasy just thinking about it.
Bizarre...

Well Fred, we've hit the bigtime - our first spam comment(s). I noticed The turkey and Gravy Soda on another site - surely its a joke....isn't it?

Oh Fred!

I've got this sage dressing hangover and am not able to wrap my mind around any of this intense commentary. I think someone painted that Black Widow. It's must be a hoax.

Drink something hot with lots of alcohol in it and go to bed. Sweat it out! Feel better soon friend.

Yup. Yore a bottom feeder now, Fred. Don't know what F5 or F11 should have done; but, I couldn't tell that either did anything. I read about the soda in the newspaper the other day. It doesn't sound any better, today. I'm over my Holiday Bug (well, except for the fever blisters and they are mostly gone). Hope that you get over yours, soon.

Yep, the whole right column is now down at the bottom of the page.

I forget where I was but Outhouse Water was being advertised everywhere. Turkey and Gravy soda? Why not? It's where we live. Come up with an outlandish idea and sell it in America.

Take two aspirins and call me in the morning.

The right-hand column is down at the bottom for me too. I'm using Safari 1.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.2.8.

Oh, and thanks for the link-up!

I notice that you've got an HR tag with a fixed value:

p hr align="center" width="400" /p

Your CSS has a percentage such as 65% for the main column...this creates an inablity for the page to rescale properly...so it will push beyond your CSS setting and your right column drops below.

The main column will be drawn to a percentage and you're telling the browser to then draw the HR within that percentage to a fixed width...doesn't rescale reliablily. Change the hr tag value to a percentage of the main column(you'll have to experiment with the right % to draw a line the length you want...try 50% to start). I wouldn't use a paragraph tag as an element anchor either since the tag is really designed to create an extra space between two lines of text...this too may be in conflict with the CSS line height...I would use break tags.

Or it could be the MT pixies screwing with your head.

I haven't checked your source code but from what I know, feste is probably correct. Why it would show up now, I have no idea.

I'm using IE 6 or so. So the Mac assumption is incorrect.

hr = horizontal rule
setting a rule of 400 pixels in a column that is only supposed to be 35% of the total is what creates the problem. For those of us whose monitors are smaller, the browser (reading your html code), as feste said, reads the percentage and sets your left column at that, and then can't fit the 400 pixel line in what's left.

Does this make sense?

I don't see any horizontal rules set to 400 pixels in the source code I'm going through. I see the content set at 65%, but I don't see any place where the righthand column is supposed to start.

The cascading style sheet (CSS) doesn't define a place for the side column either, as far as I can tell. From the source I'm getting, Fred, it looks as if all this stuff at the bottom is just where it's supposed to be.

I'm looking forward to somebody solving this problem. Let me know. I take it that there is not a TABLE structure for the two halves of the body of your blog to inhabit. Tables are no-nos, right? But you have a table at the top, for your banner. And that ends and we go right into #content, and after that whole section and a bunch of division close tags, it goes right into a division for links but then another one for calendar. The calendar is a table. But where-oh-where do we tell it we want a right-side column? I see that the #content is supposed to float left, but why would that make the stuff that follows go to the top of the page under the banner?

Trish: I hadn't noticed that my MT CSS from Blogplates only sets the left margin as an absolute and a percentage for the blog body as well. Does the browser address this lack of right hand setting as a default?

I had a similar problem to Fred's with a div value. It occured randomly as Fred noted, he's used the fixed width HR for ages. Does anyone know why the issue occurs randomly? Is it a bug?
