I am having trouble positioning my ‘events’ partial in IE. When I put a  
static object inside the ‘sidebar’ div, it renders on the upper right  
side of the page like a good browser. Once I toss in the ‘events’  
partial, however, everything in ‘sidebar’ renders on the left side of  
the page. Anyone else had this problem?

#sidebar {  
float: right;  
}

\<%= render :partial =\> 'events', :object =\> @case %\>

This is a css problem and you will get help a lot faster if you post it  
to a css or html list. IE is notorious for float problems. Google a bit  
and you will see.

Cool, I’ve gone ahead and posted this on experts-exchange. From my  
limited web development experience, isn’t IE notorious for every kind of  
problem?
