Same code and CSS… one works… one’s wonky!

Hi everyone…

REALLY excited about WP – am in the process of revamping my entire site using it. Getting SO close but now – of course – a glitch.

I made this really nifty flexible layout – this is a hard-coded test page:

Note the rolover menu just below my name. Super cool ‘n groovy – works great. So I break the code into WP chunks (header, sidebar, etc). AND… I copy the entire css code into my WP css file – so that they’re the same. But here’s what I get:

Where’d my nice rollover menu go?

I made a page which manually links to the css file used on my hard-coded page (though it is exactly the same as the WP version). THIS… works. Here’s the result:

WordPress code, but linked to my own stylesheet, and the menu is visible above the WP content.

I’m guessing that something that WP adds to the page is blowing away my nice menu.

I’m still on that steep CSS learning curve but was just starting to think that I might have begun to triumph over it. This is quite the smackdown. I throw myself at the mercy of the WP gurus. Help!

(and thanks!)
