Alright, I solved the padding problem, now as it stands, the code is thus:

#header {
background: url(“https://www.8bitninja.com/wp-content/uploads/header.jpg”) no-repeat
}

AND

#header {

margin: 40px auto;
height: 192px;
width: 740px;

}

The code is broken down this way in the template, that’s why it’s split into two different sections.

My only question now is: Does this look right in Firefox now? And, can anybody tell me how to make that picture a link?

Okay, I managed to get the image to come directly from my CSS. It’s not in my html at all anymore. So, now I have some more questions. Is there anyway I can turn the image into a link?

Also, now if I try to reposition the picture at all, it disappears entirely! I had 40px of padding on the top of the picture before, but if I try to add it now, it just vanishes. Any thoughts?

I’m pretty new to CSS. The last and best fix you mentioned, this code:

#header {
background:url(header.jpg) no-repeat
}

Do I just need to put my header’s url in the parentheses? Like so:

#header {
background:url(https://www.mysite.com/folder/header.jpg) no-repeat
}

I need a complete example as I am a total amateur at this. I don’t want to try anything before I know I’m doing it right. Thanks for the help.

That blank paragraph was used for the old ad. In theory the blank space should be filled by the header. I changed some of my CSS last night. I’ve now specified the width and height of the header at the exact size of the header image.

Before it was 100% rather than in exact pixels. Someone with Firefox want to let me know if it’s still off?

I’ve noticed a lot of people with WordPress alignment problems between Firefox and IE, but I haven’t found mine specifically. It’s annoying.

Well, alright then. Thanks for the help. I was actually wanting to get my page valid anyway. I thought it would be a lot harder.

Thanks.

Okay, fixed the Amazon banner, unencoded ampersands.

I still have four error, but I can’t find them in the template files, which makes me think they are in the actual index.php file.

Still, my problem page is Valid now, but the Amazon breaks the comments for some reason. I guess I should just stop messing with it and grab CG-Amazon. Anybody have any other ideas?

I’ve just now realized that the majority of errors on my page are from the same line of code. It’s my Amazon vertical banner on the main page. Maybe I haven’t embedded it right. I’m working on it now.

Okay, I’ve removed all the weird span tags. This page was copied from one of my old sites pages. I think the copy/paste procedure added the span tags for some reason. The example entry is now valid, but comments are still broken:

I’ll continue to grab the rest of the errors I suppose. I may just switch to CG-Amazon. I have a question though, can it be used to place Amazon items in the sidebar, or just inline with posts?

I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

Well, half of the errors on my page are IN the Amazon links themselves. I don’t build these links, they are generated by Amazon.

Granted, I have a few open tags here and there–although I’ve checked some of them and they appear to be right—but I don’t think that’s what’s causing my problem.

I am not a coder, and I have only made slight modifications to my template files. A lot of the invalid code was there before I did anything.
