Can you please provide a URL? With the thousands of WP themes out there it's always difficult to say why a specific layout looks the way it does. I assume you've searched the comments/FAQs for typical layout issues…

Tomsn,
Looking at your WP layout I noticed that you're columns and (div) containers use a lot of position:relative styles. This may cause the form element to not display 100% correctly. A few things you could try…
- add a display:block; to #loop_page
- add a overflow:visible; to .cforms
- set a specific margin-left for.cforms (instead of auto)
It's difficult to remotely analyze IE layout issues (FF is simpler) but perhaps one of these will help.

I think I found the actual source of the problem! Find the below line in your cforms.css file:
.cformfieldsets { margin:10px 0; padding:8px 0 11px 0; border:1px solid #adadad; border-left-color:#ececec; border-top-color:#ececec; clear:left; }
And remove the last attribute clear:left this fix has been reported to solve the majority of IE display issues concerning 3 column WP themes with a non-floated center piece.
Hope this works for your theme as well.

quick heads-up: issue resolved by correcting the sendbutton style. See FAQ.

Dear Oliver,
What was the solution that you come up with for IE styling. I had to change the default style to make the sendbutton larger, then everything f*** up in IE. (FF is fine as always) and I'm lost in your website, cannot find the FAQ. I'll keep searching. But please help me.
.cform input.sendbutton {
width: 150px;
padding: 2px;
margin: 10px 0 0 310px;
font-size:0.8em;
background:url(../images/button-bg.gif) repeat-x;
border:1px solid #adadad!important;
border-left-color:#ececec!important;
border-top-color:#ececec!important;
}
Best,
Suphi

…then everything f*** up in IE.
Doesn't really help to understand the issue, can you post a URL showing the broken layout?
Here is the FAQ post.

I also, am having IE issues when everything looks as it should in firefox *mumbles at IE*
Any pages that have a form displayed, the center column in my 3-column theme falls to the end of right column.
I've been here previously, but not about the same problem and found the answer by reading around and finding someone else having the same problem. I've done the same thing again and can remember someone having the same problem as I am currently but I hadn't read up on it, and now that I'm trying to find it, and I can't. LOL
Here are pages where the form exists:
http://tanyaiscrazy.com/main/?page_id=123
http://tanyaiscrazy.com/main/?page_id=32
http://tanyaiscrazy.com/main/?page_id=23
If you need anything else, let me know.
I've tried upgrading to cform ver 5.3 and it didn't fix, I also tried moving the send button more to the left and that didn't help either.
Thanks for your help!

Your #content div container is set to 350px. cforms is configured to 410px, that's the issue.
I recommend you tweak cforms CSS until is fits into 350px, adjusting the overall width to 330px; look for .cform { …
This might already be it…

Oooooooh! Don't you just rock!! LOL Thanks for the quick reply, Oliver! Much appreciated, you are so helpful! I can't believe I didn't see that, but I appreciating you pointing the problem out! I had the problem existing on 2 themes, 2 different blog installations and now they are both fixed! Thankies!
