twenty eleven sidebar coloring

  • Hej there,
    first i want to say is, please be patient with my mysterious english ;->

    I’ve aks this question in the german board again but loose support for this.

    I’ve use twenty eleven with an child theme on my testing area at https://test.pixeltunes.de.
    I’ve imported the standard style.css from the parent theme and write some lines css into the childs css.

    I want to color the left sidebar from top to bottom. I’ve searched a long time and don’t find the correct formating.

    Thanks for your help
    Regards ??

    At the moment, your sidebar does not span from top to bottom. Is this the underlying issue you’re addressing?

    Hej Andrew,
    sorry.

    I understand you so that the reason for my problem is that the sidebar don’t span from top to bottom.

    If it’s so, is my next question what could i do to fix that.
    What have i to do to stretch the sidebar from top to bottom?

    Remove the float on it;

    .left-sidebar #secondary {
 float: none;
}

    Then remove its bottom margin;

    .widget {
 margin-bottom: 0;
}

    The float: none stretch the sidebar as well but the widget flows to the bottom of the sidebar.

    Im not sure with your second tweak and what must be the result

    .widget {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

    The following lines is the standard css in the parent theme.

    /* =Widgets
----------------------------------------------- */
...
.widget {
	clear: both;
	margin: 0 0 2.2em;
}
...

    Have i delete this and wrote this to my childs css?

    .widget {
	clear: both;
	margin: 0 0 2.2em;
         margin-bottom: 0;
}
