 * 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:
 *  [http://www.adamabrams.com/test2.html](http://www.adamabrams.com/test2.html)
 * 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:
 *  [http://www.adamabrams.com/wordpress/](http://www.adamabrams.com/wordpress/)
 * 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:
 *  [http://www.adamabrams.com/wtf.html](http://www.adamabrams.com/wtf.html)
 * 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!)
 * Adam

   top left repeat-x; = visible
 * background: url(“images/homebuttons/bigbuttons_02-over.gif”);} = not visible
 * Maybe you have to change the relative url to the absolute url.

 * Hooray! That was it! Thank you!!!
 * I’m so happy, I’m going to write a musical and name it after you! Oh, wait… that’s
   been done… well, thanks anyway!

   in the face…)

 * Even if you don’t write a musical… you can mark this thread as resolved 🙂
