A lot of my floats are showing up on a separate line when viewing in IE7 ... in Ffox, chrome, IE8 etc they look fine.
The site in question is:
http://208.43.52.30
The places where the float is not working are the location for "events near me", "Show" for the show month buttons ..
I'll attach some screenshots
IE 8:
IE 7:
I personally can't see the difference (the closest thing I have to IE7 is compatibility view in IE8), but based on your screenshots it looks like the "Upcoming Events" font-size is much bigger in the IE7 screenshot.
Did you define font-size for your h1 tag? Different browsers sometimes handle the size and margins of header tags different, so if you put h1{font-size:14px;} in your stylesheet maybe it'll fix it.
The Upcoming Events problem is being causes by IE7 pushing the float:right to the next line instead of keeping it in line with the h1, despite no clear I can't figure out a way to get that to stop. An alternative I came up with was to float the h1 left instead and give the default text-alignment:right; This will cause the same layout, and IE7 is happy.

Same solution for the show button.
IE7 might be making your input larger (from experience), you should set a different width for IE7.
First off, 'float' is pretty well supported, even on IE. When validating the HTML on you website, I am getting 43 errors (wont really be that many). Correct those and see if it fixes the problem. Earlier versions of IE (<= 7) are not as friendly to slightly invalid markup as IE8, chrome, firefox, etc...
Second, if you are really just trying to display block elements inline, 'display:inline-block' is the easiest way. Contrary to popular belief, this is supported on IE7 & 8. Here is the css for cross browser support:
.inline-element {
display:-moz-inline-stack;
display:inline-block;
zoom:1;
*display:inline;
}

I'm now building a website for my sister. It looks normal on Chrome, firefox and IE9 but for some reasons, some of my div lost all background color in IE 7 --.
http://xx3004.kodingen.com/JDProperties
Open the website and you can see the pop up message has problem with title and button set (background color) - I'm using IE 7 right now. Then the content of the left body lost background color too, and the right column lost background too. I've been doing many searches on Google plus I notice that jQueryUI could not be wrong, so I guess it's because of my DOCTYPE in the begining of the source code. I've tried to change to some other DOCTYPE I saw on the Internet, or even omit it, but the website becomes either messing up or remains the same.
This is the first time I see this situation, it's weird and I hope I don't know how to fix it.
I'm expecting to solve the problems soon :-). Thanks everyone in advanced.

I started to look, and then saw this
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
</head>
<body>..
Try building the structure properly and see what happens yo.
You have mismatched HTML tags. Chrome, firefox and IE9 are cleaning up for you, but IE7 isn't that nice.
Agree with #albert, you do need to recode that page, although it's seeming to mostly working, the nesting of multiple head, body, style elements going to lead to trouble, and I suggest you change to an HTML4 Doctype as the coding is not XHTML, the more conflicts (tag soup) a browser has to deal with the more likely you will get them interpreting your intentions differently.
As for the IE backgrounds in numerous (inline styles) places you have background: inherit IE does not understand the "inherit" value of properties - or more specifically for IE7 and earlier it only applied "inherit to the direction and visibility properties
can someone look at this site for me I have a serious problem with the sub pages content div going over to the right bar this issue the site renders fine in all other browsers except safari firefox and iphone

if u look at the above page in ie it will display fine and chrome any ideas anyone
It looks as though the problem you are having relates to your parent DIV 'collapsing' on your floated child elements.
The following article explains how to resolve this issue (in the Collapsing section) a long with other approaches for laying out floating elements:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/css-floats-101/
Validate your html and css for those lists of significant errors. Then get this working in a modern browser before seeing how IE screws things up. The other browsers are showing what you wrote. IE makes things up as it goes along. Never, ever trust IE to do anything right.
Also, you have space before the doctype. Some versions of IE go into quirks mode in that situation.
I have this website, http://www.escuelita.info. Now I tried many times to make it work on IE 7 (possibly IE6 too didn't check) but for some reason the middle frame on the right doesn't show content.
If you compare it to Firefox or Chrome (or even IE8) it works ok.
I need to fix this but I'm not sure what's causing the problem..
Note
I checked with IE7 and the pages don't show content
(the main content DIV content_outer)..
The content shows below the sidebar. Either IE7 enters quirks mode or you trigger some sort of bug that causes IE7 to misbehave.
Double check your doctype, tags and most importantly, get rid of those nested tables. Nested tables are EVIL and I'd bet they're your culprit. Use CSS grids (here's one that's really good: http://www.1kbgrid.com/) instead.
Dunno if this solves your problem, hopefully so.

You'll see I have used spans within an anchor, with the span.hover-description set to display:none; by default, and on a:hover that span is set to display block and absolutely positioned to create a tool-tip effect when hovering over the name and email of the "For Immediate Release" contact names.
Everything looks as desired in Firefox, but Chrome reveals my unknown blunder somewhere.
Any help on what's the problem that is causing Chrome to not display like Firefox?
Incidentally, Explorer shows the tool tip as expected, although I'm getting a funky bottom margin issue below the names, and Safari has the same issue as Chrome (must be a webkit rendering setting that I need to accommodate for).
OK, I figured it out. Since I'm using a pretty complex nesting structure to accomplish the CSS tool-tips, I overlooked the fact that I had actually nested a p tag within a p, and of course that is a no-no.
Firefox is really friendly to a lot of validation errors, but Chrome and Safari seem to be much more strict.
In the end I changed the p's to span elements and all is well across browsers.
I am pulling my hair trying to find a fix for this problem. If you go to this site you will see that (under IE) the slider and the menu on the top is broken. Works fine under all modern browsers.
Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.
Edit: Want to add that the original site design works fine under IE. I did a massive amount of editing under the hood and somewhere along the line this one was broken that I can't seem to find a fix for. Since I did a lot of customization, I think it seems unfair to ask the original author for a fix (and he is not very responsive either).
The document invalid. In particular, there is a <style> element before the Doctype. This triggers Quirks mode and causes browsers to become very inconsistent (e.g. IE emulates a log of bugs from IE 5.5).
Always work in standards mode and perform basic automated QA.
I can't check it for you, since I've not got access to IE right now, but I've often found that adding position:relative to misbehaving elements is something of an IE magic bullet.
No fix but a lead: the issue with the menu bar is one of IE's mysterious float positioning bugs, as can be demonstrated by putting <div style="clear: both">xxx</div> after the navbar ul. (Note that it won't work if the div has no content!)
stuff about box model deleted: as David Dorward mentions this is caused by quirks mode, and moving the style down past the doctype causes the slider to behave sensibly.
