CSS help in formatting pages

  • I’ve tried a number of different methods, but cannot seem to get the format to work correctly.

    I am trying to create a side-bar within a single page/post. Here is how it SHOULD look when working correctly:

    That’s a regular post and I can get it to manipulate the div in the sidebar with it. However, when I attempt to do the same thing with a post, it doesn’t work as exemplified here:

    The only thing I can tell that’s different is that the latter is Page and the former is a Post. I don’t think there’s a reason they shouldn’t both be able to be formatted this way, but I’m not sure how to do it. Are they both supposed to be part of the CSS for #content-body? or does the page one have to be #content-body .page? or is there another way I’m not finding?

    Wait, I seem to have it, but now I’ve got a different problem I need to resolve. It was a positioning issue before (I had the div positioned at the bottom of the post).

    Now, I just have it where it’s overlapping the rest of the content instead of pushing it to the side.

    Ok. Other problems I’m now noticing that I haven’t had before. The sidebar is not pushing content left (referenced above), but it also isn’t floating all the way to the right, and although I have it set to align-text left, it’s still centering. I’m thinking this is some part of the page CSS format, but I have no idea how to resolve that.

    Start by correcting your CSS errors.

    Trial and error, I guess. The image format for page may have been bleeding through into the sidebar. After I positioned the sidebar-image formatting above the regular sidebar formatting, it seemed to work. I have no idea why, but at least it’s working now.
