   I moved my sidebar to the left and followed a previous support post to do the following:

   position: absolute;
   left: 2px;

   So, it worked. But when I started to resize my browser window, the sidebar was stuck right there on the left side and it wasn't moving with the entire thing.

   Help me please. I don't know what code to write to make it stick in place.

   The url is http://flipstah.com

   Thanks in advance!!!

   OOOPs!! Okay, I think I made it stick. Is it okay to put

   "margin-top: -1990px; "?

   okay, this is what happened when I took out the ridiculous margin.

   i enabled the position: absolute;
   and margin-top: -190px; (because I want the sidebar to go up the header)
   but when i resize the browser, it doesn't move with the rest

   I'm closer :)

   You have a lot of repetition and wierd goings on in the css, so I've chopped a lot out to start with.
   First - make a copy of your current css. Keep that safe just in case what I give you sends things even worse.
   Then get the css from here: http://www.phpfi.com/70540
   and replace all your css with that.

   Then we'll see what needs fixing :)

   okay, that worked. thanks.
   can i still insert the vertical graphic beside the sidebar?
   is it safe to overlap the sidebar with the header image?

   You need that image as the background - it was causing the sidebar to be very wide before which is why it dropped down.
   With everything working now, drop it in and see what happens ?

   And the header overlap should be okay

    Thank you so much! It's finally working... although I had to use a negative top margin to bring the sidebar above the header image.... this time, it's not a whopping -1990px. :)

    THANKS!!! :)

    /me does the dance of joy!
