Problems with the S1000D Blog Page Formatting

Some of you may have noticed that there are formatting problems with the S1000D Blog page. Suddenly the side bar will not stay put where it should and we have spent quite a long time trying to fix it to no avail.

We noticed that the problem started around the time that a Service Patch was made available from Microsoft so we have come to the conclusion that something was introduced which has changed the way IE6 behaves. This conclusion was reinforced when I looked at the page in Mozilla Firefox and could see that the formatting was fine. A little later I downloaded and tried IE7 Beta and this also displays the S1000D Blog page perfectly well.

I then decided to try some of the other browsers and all of them behaved perfectly. I have listed the browsers tried below.

Where to get the browsers

For completeness the list of browsers which display the S1000D Blog correctly are:

I have included links to the download sites in the above.

UPDATE

Thanks to Patterd for pointing out that Apple Safari also works problem free.

Add Safari on Mac X to the list of browsers that correctly display your page.
