First is that the sidebar is not aligned with the posts on the left. Obviously a float drop issue although I’ve been completely unable to figure out the solution to it after numerous attempts (adding a float:right to the sidebar, changing the width of the narrowcolumn class in the content div, etc.)

Second is when I add the cForms widget I notice an excessive amount of either padding or margin is being added to the right of the form. You don’t notice it until you use the Outline Block Level Elements feature from Firefox’s Web Developers Toolbar. I don’t think that has an effect to the sidebar float issue but it should still be addressed.

Anyone have a solution to either or both problems?

And I’m wondering if there’s a way that my .narrowcolumn and/or .widecolumn styles match up in height to the #sidebar div? I know I could give both the same exact pixel number, but that’s not such a great solution. Any other way to incorporate it?

I don’t want to have a sidebar on my nextgen-galleries. I can’t figure out how to make wordpress use the single.php, since it uses the “widecolumn” and no sidebar, whenever I display a gallery, maybe the album-extend.php as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I have sorted out my problem by reducing the length of the post URL’s via the admin panel and made sure that all images used in posts were under 400px; i then reduced the .narrowcolumn width in the CSS to 440px – and hey presto the sidebar now stays at the top.

I have tested this out using the IE 6 browsershots.org test and the sidebar now shows at the top, whereas previously before reducing the width of the .narrowcolumn to 440px it was not showing up on the browser test.

I’m not sure if this will work for everyone but i thought i would help out with this problem; just follow the above guidelines by reducing the length of the URL in the post slug (short as possible) and keep those images below 400px, attempt at reducing the .narrowcolumn width and keep doing the IE 6 test in browsershots.org.

I’ve been modifying my blog so it matches with my iWeb website. I just have two issues that i’m not able to resolve alone:

1) How could I move up from about 10px the narrowcolumn? The whole part where all the posts are is not at the same level from the sidebar. You can see this by watching the vertical rule between both of them. How could i repair this?
2) As i’ve switched to Safari, i discovered Safari. Everything works fine with except for the line under the post info and date. this horizontal rule is displayed one pixel above in Firefox and is perfect in Safari. If i change the value, it’s perfect in Firefox but not good in Safari…

Here’s my stylesheet: https://seriusdesign.free.fr/blog/wp-content/themes/arnoz/style.css
Here’s my website (under construction…): https://blog.arnoz.be

.narrowcolumn {
float: left;
padding: 0 0 20px 70px;
margin: 0px 20px 0 0;
width: 480px;

}
.widecolumn {
padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
margin: 5px 0 0 150px;
width: 480px;
}

Well, some document somewhere is overriding my CSS tags – for example, I have it set so it displays the posting, then under it is the comments tag and categories (on the right), with a border-bottom under all that, then the next post appears. However, my archives page is getting tags from a different source than the ones on archive.php so the comments/categories appear below the bottom border, when in fact they should be above as according to the tags I have set. There’s an outside set of tags that I recognize from the default theme (div.narrowcolumn#content) that show up instead of the ones I’ve specified in archives.php. (And narrowcolumn doesn’t exist on the style sheet I designed, so it’s messing everything up.)

The quick solution would be to simply copy my tags and throw in the narrowcolumn and crap so it shows up… but it still doesn’t tell me what page is feeding into the archive.php and overwriting the tags I’ve already written.

I’d love to give a sample, but unfortunately it’s on our dev server and is password protected.

How can I manage this?
