IE has right column pushed off to the right

I have a draft site at http://jonathanscommunity.com/Question , which scrolls under IE1024x768. The page has text and nothing else (i.e. no big images). What may be related to the problem was that an item which contains three columns has been set to have a colspan of 3 instead of 0.

<tr><td id="tiki-columns" colspan="0" width="100%">

was changed to

<tr><td id="tiki-columns" colspan="3" width="100%">

because the center column was squashed to the right so that it looked like a second right column (under IE).

and then:

<tr><td id="tiki-columns" colspan="3">

which seemed to mitigate but not completely fix the problem.

What can I do to prevent horizontal scrolling while not recreating the earlier problem? I tried deleting the colspan attribute, but that didn't help.

I don't think it's a good idea to start numerous new threads asking the same question (this is sometimes referred to as "spamming the forums"). Good netiquette is to "bump" your original post back to the top of the thread list if it wasn't responded to adequetely the first time, by posting again in the same thread, rather than starting a new one. This keeps the questions and replies concentrated instead of adding new more or less empty threads in the forums. It also will save you the trouble of copy-and-pasting the question repeatedly.

As for the problem itself, I've got the information that you posted here and at themes.tw.o but will need time to try figuring out the problem as I'm juggling several other Tiki balls right now. Of course if anyone else has some clues, that'd be great too.

Thanks for your understanding.

I have a similar problem with IE pushing the center column to the right so that the main content looks like a sidebar and there is a big blank spot in the middle of the page. Firefox is fine but it is obviously unacceptable to have IE mis-render the page.

Thank you.
