you need to edit the CSS file and add either overflow:hidden to the menu CSS or you’ll need to widen the sidebar region
Thank you for the tips. I know this is probably extra simple stuff, But are you refering to the style.css file and could you please tell me how I can adjust overflow. Thanks again
yep, in the style.css file for the theme you’re currently using. Try adding this line:
overflow: hidden;
into the following from your style.css sheet
#sidebar ul {
margin:0 0 1.5em;
padding:0 0 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 1em;
border-bottom:1px dotted #ccc;
list-style:none;
}
should end up like this:
#sidebar ul {
margin:0 0 1.5em;
padding:0 0 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 1em;
border-bottom:1px dotted #ccc;
list-style:none;
overflow:hidden;
}
Thanks for that but I still seem to have the same problem. I tried increasing the width of the sidebar as well but nothing seems to be fixing it. It is strange because the fault seemed to just happen out of thin air but I know it is related to this theme.
try adding an overflow:hidden to your #content section
nup, still no joy. Should I be looking at the minimum and maximum widths for #content, #main, and #sidebar? Should #main and #sidebar add up to the #contents width? Thanks for all this fussing.
oh hmm, lol one last try, put overflow:hidden in your #menu? and from the looks of your CSS, the #main and #sidebar should add up to #contents. If anything try leaving overflow:hidden in all 3 areas and see what happens.
actaully, in looking at your css, you forgot left out a semi-colon:
#sidebar { margin-top: 0.5em; width: 210px; float: right; vertical-align: top }
you need a semicolon after top;
that could be what’s causing the problems
Thanks, I am using GoLive to edit my css so it must be leaving that semi-colon out. But wouldn’t you know it, my server is down, so I will have to check out those tests tomorrow. Thanks again for your help and I’ll let you know how I go.
Thanks for the help yesterday. I seem to have go it working in FF and Safari, but now the whole content is aligned left in IE rather than centred over the background image. Any tips for this one? Taa.
looks fine for me in IE 6
