    If you messed something up then just reupload the original theme files .

    bumping is bad form, btw, not to mention you just moved your thread out of the “unanswered” queue, where lots of ppl start first when looking to answer questions. ah well.

    See, no matter how I post, it’s always bad form….. AHHHHHH

    Anyways, I have made absolute positioning work between FF and IE, without issue. I don’t really like to use it because when pages change, it can be pretty ugly where some of that stuff ends up….

    IMHO, the way the sidebar interacts naturally with the page makes any other way of positioning difficult.

    Oh boy….I just had a guy tell my bumping was good form and that posting multiple questions is good form..

    I cannot replace theme files….I have done so much work editing all of this layout with custom colors, dimensions, coding, etc…. that it would literally set me back 10 hours of my time….

    Bump!

    You know, I had the same issue and posted 4-5 threads and never received a reply.

    What I would try doing if I was you (This is what I will try once I get a chance…..)

    Find the area in your layout that controls the Sidebar and alter the location using absolute positioning.

    Try googling (absolute position Css) and see what comes up…

    This is a really easy way to place something right where you want it….

    I made it work….

    What I did was give the bottom Margin a -9px

    and I gave the bottom border a 6Px size

    That way, there is a -3 gap between posts, and the only visable border is on the bottom post….

    Works like a charm

    Icono….Yes, I see that as well now, but how do I edit that.

    The callout before is “entry”, but when I run through my CSS’s, I cannot find anything that has controled that.

    I am going to play around a little, but if anyone could let me know where to find this in my CSS, I would appreciate it.

    Actually, 1 more thing…

    I changed the container overflow to scroll…

    What this did was set a scroll bar on the outer edge of my sidebar….

    Is there away to get this into the heading/text/post container….

    I assume I need to isolate my sidebar from my post container, but I am not sure how to do this… I am also having problems editing the size and location of my sidebar, but I know that these problems are all interlinked somehow….

    HELP!!!

    1. I had to re format the code for the image header, but now everything appears to line up in Firefox….I guess using the multiple browers for testing is important…Grrr… I should have known to check, especially developers (or anyone who provides help) use alot of non standard items like Opera and Firefox.

    2. The thing that is driving me crazy is the dashed line breaks (or borders) that appear between my headline and my post…. I have searched for this code for hours, and cannot find it. I am using Dark Blix Template…..

    3. The space above my header image got bigger somehow… I would guestimate there is about 50-75PX gap between the top of my image and the top of the container….How can I reduce this to a 5-10px gap?????

    4….Now I have to figure out how to insert images into the nav bar instead of embedding font. I agree that embedded fonts are a pain, and I wouldn’t use them, but my arists boss needs them, so I will have images created to mimic the text….I assume there are some good tutorials for inserting images into the nav bar instead of font….

    IF anyone can help with 2-3, It would really help….

    I still cannot find the border spacing between the heading and the text of a post.

    It appears to be a dashed border as opposed to dotted, but either way, I searched both CSS layouts for Dashed or dotted. I found a couple of entries, none appear to control the white dotted border….

    IS there perhaps another file this information would be hiding in???

    I will have a couple of questions later…

    Oh, Yosemite, your answer to #5 is a good one, and probably what I will try. That’s alot easier than making frames, and I can code in whatever type of scroll bar I want to control it….
