Adding Margin Moves Element and Dumps Content

    Hi,

    I’m trying to spiff up this site: http://ramen-empire.com/ – using InkBlot theme with Webcomic plugin. Love both. =)

    When I do this:

    main, #sidebar1, #sidebar2 {
	border:1px solid;
	border-radius:15px;
	margin-right:2px;
	margin-left:2px;
	margin-top: 0;
	margin-bottom: 0;
}

    Then sidebar1 vanishes. (Sidebar2 is empty right now, so maybe it does, too.)

    (I have the code commented out right now. I think you can see what I mean with F12 in Chrome, though.)

    What I want is a border around main and both sidebars that neither hugs the text or the wall of the page. I can’t quite put my finger on why it’s behaving this way.

    Thanks for any help you all might offer!

    Bart

    Is it worth my time to go through the theme’s php files and just rename “main”?

    Sorry, why do you need to rename “main”?

    I don’t think I do. I’m trying to ask if having this element named “main” is a problem that might mess things up later. I have very little understanding of HTML, let alone HTML5. 🙂

    Well, sort of worked. Now I have other weird problems. XD
