Content Background On Dynamic Pages

😉 I haven’t even gotten far enough to test in anything but what I use, which is Firefox. I fear IE (and the PC), as nothing works there for a Mac user – not without a ton of massaging. But I shall take your advice, thanks.

this seems to work on everything EXCEPT the Recent Posts page. Any idea how I adjust it here?

I was missing a closing div for <div id="left"> but only in the single.php. I don’t see any other open or extra divs anywhere so the problem is still there. I do realize though that I did not add <div id="left"> to all other php files, as initially and even now to an extent I do not know or understand how they interact BUT I would think a template is a template and all pages should be set up (basically) like my homepage. So I added that div to all other php’s. Now I will say consistently on any page that is not in my top navigation, comes up falling underneath my left sidebar cloumn.

ANY THOUGHTS? http://www.supportmyhabit.com/?p=5

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant I had an extra tag that didn’t close somewhere. Unfortunately the <div id=”left> is what makes my design work… well almost work. I know of no other way to do what I did to the left side.

Being that I don’t understand PHP creates a problem of course 😉 But in CSS, as far as I thought – this should of worked. A left side and right side column – left column floats left so the right column stays put. ;(

I thought I need two columns, <div id="left"> being the left and <div id="content"> being the right. Now I am surprised when I look at my index page that it doesn’t have the left div!. Here are both pages.

index.php

<?php get_header() ?>

	<div id="container">

<?php get_sidebar() ?>

		<div id="content">

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>
