CSS Help Wanted

  • With WP set at 1 posts paged, I’m having a problem with the WP menu overlaying down below my site’s bottom margin. The cell where I put the WP code expands and contracts with the entries, but not with the WP menu.
    An example of the problem can be seen here. (Pay no attention to that ugly navigation system at the top. I’m working on it.)
    I don’t know how to fix this problem. Here is the code for my index.php file and here is the code for my wp-layout.css file.
    Any suggestions?

  • Hi there,
    You need to use a clearing div I think just before the start of the menu DIV. Add this just before the menu DIV: <div class=”clear”></div>
    and add this to your css:
    .clear {
    clear:both;
    font-size:1px;
    line-height:1px;
    height:1px;
    }
    I think this may work.

    Sorry guys but a clearer div does not have any effect on an absolutely positioned menu. A better example of a different two colunm template with all the element, properly positioned, including the footer, and a different color bg in the menu all the way down may be my own Gemini Template now being installed by many WP users. HTH

    Ah didn’t notice it was absolute ??
    I would just change everything to float. But thats just me ??

    Gemini is not a la carte.

    Sorry. I thought that I could wrap my site around the Gemini index.php site, as I did with the default index.php.

    Have you seen The Trident Interface ? It is a free to download; three column interface for WP which consists of an adjusted index php plus the accompanying CSS. Might suit you. Its pretty similar.

    Well it should be pretty simple. You have two ways to go – copy and paste the menu content which might disrupt the css or switch the menus in the css. I would just swap them there. Glad it seems to be working out for you. If you get your fancy bits back in it should look fab again. I will keep an eye on it. When you are running remind me to give you a link as a Trident user. Thanks. ??

    Well I have now lost the plot. Have we got the right url here? I cant find it.
