Sidebars overflowing in Luna with Netscape

Sidebars overflowing in Luna with Netscape
I noticed that content in the sidebars in the Luna template is overflowing the sidebar.
This behaviour is happening with Netscape and Mozilla Firefox not with IE

Here's an example (not my install)

Is there a solution for this problem?

Regards,
Theo

It's a bug in the older gecko engines. It's fine in the newest version of Netscape and Firefox though. I don't know of any workarounds for this bug.

The problem all the same is. Very well it is visible on this page:

http://www.dirlist.net/Arts/index.shtml

I have seen it only after perusal of this subject and installation Firefox 1.0.3 for testing.
I yet have not found the decision of incorrect display of page.

Tested this page with Netscape 8 beta, and you're right, the problem still exists.

Select a different Ad layout format from GAdsense for the time being.

Thanks

I checked in 1.0.3 and it doesn't show fine to me (the GAds tower)

Thanks

Not too sure, but in case you cannot do away with the tower ad, then:

Try making the content area about the same height by playing with the margin/padding etc on home, category dt/dl etc ... just quoting offhand as exactly i would have to look in css as to what it is. Basically spread out the listings (gap between two categories listed) vertically.

[edit]
Better still, add yahoo Subcat plugin
This would need tweaking to align the categories in two columns (for category to appear in same horizontal line in two columns especially with that new/update spans there. Adjustments in subcategory template
[edit]

Thanks

Correction: there is an issue with older gecko engine's not rendering properly, but the google ads bug is a separate issue. I haven't figured out the exact problem, but it's to do with the way google ad's javascript is adding the content to the page. A temporary fix is to put <div>&nbsp;</div> just below the google ad.

I have added this code:
<div>&nbsp;</div>
But the problem with correct display was not solved unfortunately.
Also tried a variant:
<p>&nbsp;</p>
Does not help :(

Example here:

Have you tried using the min-width css property?

I could be wrong, but it seems that they serve ads in same manner as gforum HTML Editor is displayed (iframe). Just keep the mouse within the ad area and you could see a slight scroll up and down by trying the scoll thru mouse.

Anyway, except for the rate-top page, i placed a lot of

<p>...</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>...</p>

in the rightsidebar.html template and found that it overflowed too on all pages except rate-top though Gads overflowed on that too, (something to do with iframe type of serving ... maybe just a shot in the dark.) . Tested on FireFox1.03 ... doesn't happen on IE.

Thanks

Try this instead - remove the <div>&nbsp;</div> you added before, then on the line:
Code:
<div id="contentfooter">
change it to:
Code:
<div id="contentfooter" class="clear">
