CCS to WordPress Road Bumps (2 posts)

    Hey guys its been a long time.

    I'm currently re-doing one of my websites - getting rid of tables and going 100% CSS instead. So far its been great. Here's how it looks like:

    * Original - http://www.musicworx.org
    * CSS (table free) - http://www.musicworx.org/csstrial.html

    With that out of the way I am moving on to converting the design to a Wordpress theme so I can host a blog on the site using the same look and feel as the rest of the site. Here's how it has become tricky.

    * Converted to WP - http://www.musicworx.org/blog

    If you see I'm getting close. But I am running into several problems.

    1.) I can't get my wraps to work like they are supposed to. I created a wrap to contain the main content and the sidebar. I need this in order to creat a border on both the left and right side. (already using content border for dotted line on left - CSS won't allow you to use more than one style at the same time).
    2.) Because the wrap won't work I can't hide the length of the sidebar - to make both the content window and the sidebar look like they have the same length. To do this on the CSS page I just set the wrap bg color to the same color as the sidebar. But wrap not working.
    3.) The clear:both tag on the footer isn't working and right now its popping up in my content window.

    Can anybody help? I'd appreciate it much.

    Cheers.
    Michael

    I think your #2 might gain from applying the "Faux Column" technique you can find on http://alistapart.com

    Re the footer, looking at it now, it looks fine, I don't see a problem, but it's hard to tell.

    Have you gotten any farther since you posted?
