• Hey! I just made a new layout for my site dave-annable.org (choose layout 3 from the drop-down menu). So far it looks good but when I click on the title of one of the news the content gets shorter than the sidebar and the sidebar overlaps the footer I already tried several clear divs but still it´s doing it I hope anyone can help me

    The footer is not inside the container of your theme…

    Put the footer inside the container and it may fix the problem…

    you mean the div maincontainer or which one?

    Yes the main container, though i’m not familiar with your template/theme…

    It’s hard to say without having the theme myself…

    If the theme worked originally then look at anything you’ve changed.

    well I made the theme myself and I always edit it myself how I need it and I think it never really worked 🙁
    and in the main container it also doesn´t work. I just wonder why the footer is not below the sidebar because the sidebar and the content are together in a div and under it is the footer. Normally it should be under the sidebar as well…

    Well i’ll say this much, that’s a very nice looking theme…

    I’ve been playing with code for years and i’m still yet to get the knack on the visual side of things..

    Perhaps take a look at the default theme and compare code, see how the default theme handles the footer, and work from there.

    hi

    I have the same problem (with a theme I have customised from the old “classic” Kubrick theme). Looking at the page on your site http://dave-annable.org/2009/02/15/httpi39tinypiccom110yp0ijpg/ now, it looks like you fixed it.

    Can I ask what did you do?

    yours hopefully…

    It’s okay, I fixed it up.

    In case anyone else comes across this and is wondering how…

    I modified the old “classic” Kubrick theme for my site (http://www.thatcontinuityguy.com/continuity101 – which isn’t yet released, but should now be by the end of the night…).

    The “classic” Kubrick theme used absolute positioning for the sidebar. This meant that it was removed from the text flow, and hence (as far as I can gather) would always overlap the footer if the content was shorter than the sidebar. With absolute positioning I don’t believe there is any way around this.

    I changed to having the sidebar float:right before my #content, then did a clear:both in the #footer div, and all now is good.

    so there you go
