I need help with CSS and my sidebar (I think)

    I’m having a problem with which anytime there I put a widget or something there to display lists (Top Commentator plugin, and latest comments widget), it looks…..really really messed up.

    It just a big jarbled mess that runs on into a strange bunched up looking thing, instead of (I think) should ideally say, list a user on each line etc.

    Please take a look here to see what I’m talking about:

    (look under “top commentator” and “recent comments” in the sidebar)

    I think this has something to do with the CSS, but I’m not sure. Please help!

  • Yeah, it is css related. your #sidebar ul li has a display element in it that says inline, remove that line and it should all be fixed! ??

    Thank you epicalex!

    I think I got the hang of it now. Still not perfect, but I will dig around. Thanks!

    Ok I’m back ?? I just need help with one last thing before it’s “perfect”.

    So on the “Top Commentators” plugin/widget. I got to look how I want, EXCEPT, on lines where the names are links, the number behind it breaks off into another line. It’s better illustrated visually:

    <u>Top 20 Talkers</u>

    * Bill (1)
    * Bob
    (1)
    * James (1)
    * Daniel (1)
    * Darren
    (1)
    * Ben (1)

    The bolded ones above are meant to simulate links (i.e. commentors who have put in a website). Only on those, do the numbers break off into a separate line. I’m fairly sure this has to do with style sheet too, but I’m at a lost.

    Help!

    in this case in your css,you have ‘#sidebar ul li a’ with display: block – remove that and the posts number will go to the same line as the name. only trouble is, all your double spacing of other links in the sidebar goes too, so you might want to give that particular list a unique id so it displays differently, but all the others are unchanged.

    oh, and how do i know the problems? i use firebug for firefox!
