How to fix sidebar in HTML?

Discussion in 'HTML & Website Design' started by WonderingCoder, Oct 16, 2013.

    I have a custom template for my website:
    http://www.101baseballnews.com

    If you notice, I have an ad running on the sidebar below "popular post". Now, the sidebar is too small (width wise) to hold the ad fully. The ad is 300x250 width, but even though my sidebar says 301px in the HTML code, it doesn't fit.

    Help?

    There you go, you can simply add a style in your style sheet or just inline style in a div for the image. Here is an example of it edited: [​IMG]

    Looks great! But I'm not sure what you mean by adding it to my "style sheet'.. :(

    What do you mean? :(

    Do I need to put that code in a certain place in the HTML? I tried putting it on line 1 and got this message:
    Error parsing XML, line 2, column 6: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed

    I forgot to tell you the website is run through blogger -- maybe that's causing the problem?

    Humm well you are going to need to place it at a specific spot. Hard to direct your properly without seeing what you are trying to do.

    I understand I'm being vague.. but what I'm trying to do is lengthen the sidebar.. just like you had it in your edit picture.

    i.e., how can I get the edit picture you posted on my website.

    If that makes sense :/

    Oh, I see.. So, how would I do that in the HTML?

    This is what it looks like for me. See how the ad is cut off? How do I fix that??

    I fixed it for you editing the css.

    Open the index page in Notepad++


    Change width in #rsidebar-wrapper from 301px->350px
    Change width in #main-wrapper from 645px ->600px

    This would do the charm !

    Editing the image size would work for you. Even if the problem exists, you can make slight changes in the css.
