This would be the main markup:
<div class="mancha">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div id="content-area" class="espacio">
<div class="eltitular">HEADER</div>
<div class="lacarta">LEFT CONTENT</div>
<div id="sidebar">RIGHT CONTENT</div>
</div>
</div>
Where (allthough there are many more rules wich can be seen in the link this are the widths)
.espacio{
margin-left: 192px;
background: transparent;
width:808px !important
}
.lacarta{
width:595px;
float:left;
}
#sidebar{
width:210px;
float:right
}
The problem is that .lacarta and #sidebar are not floating one next to other (this only happens in IE8 or lower)
I checked with the IE8 developer tools that the container seems to be big enough for both elements..
Any idea what I missed?
-EDIT-
Current IE:
Wanted (like in Firefox):
Actually, there is a bug in IE8 where right-floated elements seem to clear:left.
If you don't want to add anything to your HTML at all, you can slightly restructure it for a quick fix. Put the right-floated sidebar
first, ie:
<div id="content-area" class="espacio">
<div class="eltitular">HEADER</div>
<div id="sidebar">RIGHT CONTENT</div>
<div class="lacarta">LEFT CONTENT</div>
</div>
