 * hey guys,
 * My website is [http://www.slamlink.net](http://www.slamlink.net) and I was wondering
   why my webpages keep shifting. For example, if you look in my java lab: [http://slamlink.net/java/lab-5-card-game/](http://slamlink.net/java/lab-5-card-game/);
   the headers on the right side of the page that displays the codes have a big 
   gap between each <div>. I dont know what caused this problem because I didn’t
   touch my website today and it was perfectly fine last night. It also occured 
   before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 * you are somehow using the `#container` css id twice;
 * the second time is in the html and css structure of the _content _of that page;
   
   this could possibly be the cause for the problem…

 * Ah, I have this code in my edit css:
 * #sidebar.column.threecol {
    width: 185px; }
 * .column.twocol {
    width: 100%; }
 * #content.column.twothirdcol {
    width: 900px; }
 * And they’re marked with I’s on the left side of the line numbers.
 * I changed the names of the ids on the content page but that didnt do the trick

 * the html and CSS in the _**content **_of your page is the problem;
 * for some reason you are using CSS ids which are also used in your theme, and 
   this creates an interference, and also creates invalid code;

 * is </br> an invalid end tag bar? CI use it to make a larger page break in my 
   paragraphs. Is there a better way to do this to fix this “error”?

 * the linebreak tag is a self-closing tag:
 * `<br />`

 * okay, I’ve been using </br> instead of 
    or  because it gives me a larger page
   break in my paragraphs. I fixed all the ID errors except “code_title”; is it 
   a big problem in html to share the same ID among multiple headers?

 * this should generally not cause a problem for the formatting, unless the elements
   with the duplicate css ids lead to unintended layout problems.
