    My question might be trivial or quite bothersome, please, bear with me 🙂
    I want a layout similar in concept like this:

    http://www.tomcatpolo.hu/blog

    This is pure html with some javascript.
    My test site:

    http://free.srv.hu/k/a/kassad/test

    I slightly modified the dimensions and tried to put the sidebar outside the body container with no luck.
    Some html properties (background color and bg-picture) are defined in the CSS.
    So, I think, it cannot be done this way. (I’m not a programmer, keep in mind).
    What bugged me all the time, that scrolling always took all content (sidebar, title, posts) up.
    I wish to keep all relevant information (menus (both sides, title) on screen and have the content scrolling either up-down or sideways and possibly utilizing the full browser window. I’ve made some research and found not much.

    I wonder if you have some idea.
    Any tricks would be welcomed 🙂

    Thanks,

    Kassad

    It took a very long time for your site to load in Firefox, just for your information.

    1. The body tag holds ALL of the information within your page. You cannot put html stuff “outside” of it. You can put containers inside of it and have containers within containers, but there should be nothing between the head closing tag and the body opening tag.

    2. For the most part, ALL styles and presentation codes must be in the style.css in order to meet web standards. Only the occassional inline style should be within the HTML page structure.

    3. Using a fixed background image with absolute positioning EVERYTHING on the page will scroll over it. If you want to leave the sidebar in position, you will have to add fixed positioning commands to it.

    For help on some of this, check out the many CSS Resources we have listed in the WordPress Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#CSS_Resources
