Drupal 7.0 + Omega Starterkit + Contact Form + IE6 = sidebar menu disappears

Hi dseeley!

I haven encountered similar issues with IE. The sidebar will disappear when the main content area has content that is 1px wider (or more) than the allotted space. This can be from an embedded View, a table in the body textarea or even making a paragraph italic. Because Drupal uses cols="60" for the textarea in the contact form, this is producing a width that is slightly wider than your content area.

Omega cannot assume how many grids you are using for the main content area, so it cannot provide CSS to alter this, however, you can.

I recommend either creating a stylesheet in the starter kit and add code similar to

#contact-site-form .form-textarea {
  width:100px;
}

or, in a module, you can do a form_alter to change the col number.

Good luck, Miche
