hi

my site is http://dev.computerbeast.gr/

when i add a large product description in vm the left toolbar and the bottom seems to get mixed inside the description like this

http://dev.computerbeast.gr/index.php?o ... Itemid=663

instead of the normal look with a smaller description like this

http://dev.computerbeast.gr/index.php?o ... Itemid=663

It is not the problem with the template or even large description but with the description content. If you validate the page with problem you will see that several tags are unclosed, please look » [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://dev.computerbeast.gr/index.php?o ... Itemid=663 - W3C Markup Validator

You content contains invalid HTML code and that's why the sidebar is displayed in wrong place.

The validation error may also come from custom HTML module or some other content published on website. This SQL field was a default VirtueMart field or kind of additional one?

You've modified this directly in database? Probably your problem come back after every VM update because they checking database structure…
