DIVs repeating in IE8 - css

Here is the source:
http://store.bionoricausa.com/index.aspx
All good in FF and Mac browsers.
In IE8 developer mode, the 3 divs immediately below div id="footerIn" are shown being recreated a second time, resulting in a repeating footer.
This is with Compatibility Mode off.
When it is on, the repeating problem is gone, but the header logo is missing.
This page is a port of a WordPress site as home page to a Network Solutions e-commerce site. As you probably know, NS auto-generates a container and table around the header, body, and footer content, interfering with any of your own containers that you may have used in another CMS. I suspect this is most of my problem, as I've had to develop workarounds to display parts of the page properly to match the original WP site. But no matter how I rearrange the footer code, I can't get IE8 to stop doubling it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Without going through all your markup, I can say I've seen this kind of problem before on IE and it's typically caused by: a tag that wasn't closed, tags that weren't nested propertly, or an extraneous closing tag somewhere. That's where I would start first.

It was the fact that there was a search form in the footer tag - Network Solutions creates a form, container, and table to put the whole page in, so the search form that was part of the page I imported from WordPress wouldn't work (you can't have a form within a form). That is what IE objected to. The nested form caused all the footer tags to go haywire in DW, but DW didn't highlight the form as being a problem at all, just all the divs around it...
Thanks kinakuta for your help.

Why do my pages move horizontally (see link)

I am supporting a website:
https://www.allcounted.com/
If you first look at the home page or What's Hot page and then click the Subject or Country page in the top navigation, you would see the page move left a little.
I know this is a CSS issue, but I am unable to find out the CSS rules that creates this issue. This website uses bootstrap-3.2.0 and some other tools.
At my screen this page seems displaying correctly (Chrome 57). This 'movement' what are you talking about's occurring because of browser is scrollbar, I guess, if I m wrong, punish me, but also I may recommend you using Developer Tools at your browser to inspect that. :)
If you could share more info I will be glad. (Some screens etc.)

JQuery Plugin (Hover-Caption) Adding Offset to Images In Internet Explorer (all versions)

I have a Wordpress site that uses a JQuery plugin called Hover-Caption ( https://github.com/coryschires/hover-caption ).
The main page of site: (http://brighidfitzsimons.com) looks good.
However in Internet Explorer 9, a similar page based on Category adds a 282px top offset to the post thumbnail image. (http://brighidfitzsimons.com/category/lifestyle/)
I am new web developer so I am struggling to figure out how to isolate problem. Based on this stackoverflow entry ( How do I get rid of an element's offset using CSS? ) my current train of thought is to add a IE specific CSS sheet to 'reverse' the offset but I can't seem to get at the offending element. Also I'm confused why works on main page but not on category page. If you watch page loading carefully, it initially loads correctly then at the very end the images are moved down. Perhaps this is a clue.
First stackoverflow entry so I hope I have followed correct ettiquete. Please advise if you need me to provide any more information.
Thanks for taking time to read problem.
Regards Simon
It has something to do with the substitutions of the content inside the title, probably some quirk about ie9 which someone else would have more of an idea for me
just so you can take my word for it: http://jsfiddle.net/BXjK3/
the first two i have removed all the greater, lesser and quotes and it works, but I would say the browser does the substitutions before Javascript can see it, and it all goes down-hill
edit: worth mentioning the reason it looks like that is because the text is no longer properly contained, and so the display none is not taking effect on it, pushing all the images down and making it a jumble, due to the way the content is loaded the ie inspection cannot show me how the text is after the javascript, only what was loaded on page load, so i can't give you more help than that

Crystal report is making the menu for master page disappear

For some reason whenever I go to the page of my website that has the crystal report on it my main navigation bar disappears. Here is what the header for the site (with the navigation menu) is suppose to look like:
and here is what it looks like when there is a report on the page:
Could someone tell me what is causing this and how I can fix it?
I'm using master page for the header by the way.
Greener, the Crystal Report viewer is a dynamic HTML representation of the report. It combines JavaScript, HTML and CSS (duh, what doesn't) to represent your report on the webpage. The toolbars are powered by JavaScript calls to .JS that is linked in when the CrystalReportViewer control is rendered to your page.
My point is, all of this introduces a LOT of stuff that can conflict with your existing page. In particular JavaScript errors can occur (which can cause certain things to stop rendering) OR CSS the report uses happens to apply styles you never intended to have applied to objects in your page.
I highly recommend installing the Web Developer toolbar and/or FireBug to FireFox, IE, or whatever browser they are offered on these days. FireFox's implementation of those is quite good in my experience.
When the page loads you can use the 'CSS' menu of the Web Developer toolbar to actually disable some or ALL the styles applied to the page. If disabling Crystal related styles (or all) makes your missing toolbar appear, then it's probably a conflict in your CSS. A front end developer would know to adjust the styles (i.e. add the !important directive to a style, change class/id names, etc.) to address this.
Alternatively, FireBug may be reporting JavaScript errors (heck, even FireFox can show these in the console) which could indicate a problem that prevents the completion of rendering your toolbar.
An outside possibility is that the report itself contains mark-up. For example, if you had certain fields in the report contain HTML that happened to be rendered by the browser, this could create an open div tag, css styles and even JavaScript that would do all the stuff I explained above.
I hope this narrows it down for you. Happy troubleshooting!
I was having the same issue and after hours of searching I finally resolved it... check this out... http://scn.sap.com/thread/1926659
In the crystalreportviewer css file, I adjusted the div class = clear and changed the height attribute and disabled overflow:hidden. Hopefully, that works for you. Good luck!
I found the solution after searching on the web and is a quite simple.
On the Site Master, change the Name for all the places you have the style "clear" for example "clear1" and change it too en the site.css with that name.
The problem is for the conflic with the namespaces with Crystal Report css.
Hope this help.

Sidebar pushed below content in individual post (Wordpress)

I'm designing a blog in Wordpress using the Thesis Framework and there is an issue that I just can't seem to find a fix to:
Basically everything is fine on the main page, but when I go into any individual post, the side bar is getting pushed off and showing up right down the button of the page (below the comments).
It's pretty obvious that there is some kind of sizing/width issue and I've played around with a lot of the widths in firebug but just can't seem to find where it's going wrong. I can't find a difference between the main page and post pages either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! A specific solution would be ideal because I've already spent a lot of time tinkering with it to try and address the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I had this problem as well with the thesis framework. I found two reasons where it produced a similar mistake on my blog:
The first reason is that the sidebar + content area is bigger than you container. That would make the sidebar go below the the content. Make sure also that the content of the sidebar is also smaller than the sidebar. I had a Facebook box in the sidebar that was bigger, thus pushed the whole sidebar below the content.
An other reason was a plugin that I had installed. If you have any plugins installed try and see if one of those is interfering with the sidebar layout.
If that doesn't work you can also post a snippet of the code so that I can look at it.
I often have this problem when editing a page in html (text) mode and forget a closing tag, most notably a . If using tables, a missing , or similar will cause this.
So, in brief, make sure all your opening tags have a corresponding close tag.
Make sure the html is syntax-error free. I had the same problem and the culprit was a wrong closing tag (<b/>)

Style getting screwed up with hash in URL

I have some pages that are loaded with a hash/anchor in the url. When we do this it screws up the padding/margin of the document. Without it, it works fine.
What's even stranger is if I use the browser tools to get to the css and disable the margin and padding and then reenable it, it looks fine. We are using a third party web site to serve our site which means we're kind of locked into a CMS type of service and our hands are tied to a certain extent as to how much we can customize our pages. So, therefore, we have multiple css files referenced and so forth.
If you look at the two urls below you'll see the issue in the one with the #company_settings appended to the end of the url. If you then use inspect element in chrome to look at the header and disable and reenable the custom.css:2 for margin and padding, you'll see it then fixes the problem. Any idea why this is happening and if there's something I can do in css to fix this? Thanks.

Using a hash in the URL signals the browser to scroll to a specific location of the document.
And the browser is exactly doing so.
If you can edit skin.css (which sounds so by it's name), go into line 6:
#foxboro_header {width:100%;overflow:hidden;}
Change it, remove the overflow rule:
#foxboro_header {width:100%;}
This should make it work.
BTW if it's a block element, the width is automatically set to 100%. Setting it would be redundant then.
Next to that the code of the page is full of validation errors, deal with them otherwise you might run into more and more problems.
I had a similar issue using hash.
There is/was a some bug with display: table and hash url. I changed it to display: block and it was working correctly afterwards.
Hope it helps someone.
