Custom header widget size problem…

    Hi.
    I added a widget for my header. But it stretches all the way across the top, so does not react to it’s size dimensions or a z-index position… Have no idea what I did wrong.

    Here is the functions.php file code:

    register_sidebar( array(
    'name' => __( 'Header Widget Area Left', 'My-Theme-Name' ),
    'id' => 'header-widget-area-left',
    'description' => __( 'The header left widget area', 'my-theme-name' ),
    'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
    'after_widget' => '</li>',
    'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
    'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );

    Here is what I put in the header:

    <?php

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header-widget-area-left' )) {

dynamic_sidebar( 'header-widget-area-left' );
}
?>

    And here is CSS:

    #header-widget-area-left {
    float: left;
    position: absolute;
    width: 150px;
    height: 233px;
    z-index: 50;
}

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    My-Theme-Name v. my-theme-name ?

    I resolved it by putting php code in <div> tags and giving <div> an id …

    Here is CSS:

    #header-left-widget-holder {
    height: 233px;
    width: 150px;
    margin: 23px 0 40px 40px;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 50;
}
