formatting page content

    Hi,

    I seem to be unable to make any changes to the format of the page content of my site. Am fairly new to css so imagine it is a simple mistake somewhere!

    Essentially, if I make any changes to #content in my stylesheet it doesn’t change the appearance/style on the site.

    The code in my main index template is below (I am guessing my problem is from here):

    <?php get_header();
?>
<div id="#menu">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php'); ?>
</div>
<div id="#menuright">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
</div>
<div id="#content">
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>

    Thanks

    Try getting rid of the hash, so:

    <div id="content">
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>

    Not sure about <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>

    Shouldn’t it be `<?php the_content(‘More…’); ?>

    `

    “<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>” is correct. It is gettexted.

    S.K

    That fixed that problem – Thanks! I can now change the style of the content.

    Only problem now is that the content is below both the menus instead of between them…

    I have tried

    #content {
float: left;
clear: both;}

    with the menus as

    #menu {
background: #000
right: 2px;
width: 200px;
height: auto;
float: left;
text-indent:10px;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}

#menuright {
background: #000;
width: 200px;
float: right;
margin: 0 0 0 20px;
font-style:italic;
}

    but no luck..any thoughts?

    Maybe

    position:absolute

    for the content…

    That did it! – thanks

    It then overlapped with the menus but i played around and this works for now

    #content {
position: absolute;
width: 390px;
margin: 0 210px 0 200px;
}
