Announcement DIV breaking other divs.

This could go in either html and css, but its more of an html problem than a css i would think :S

----

Okay, so on my site, i have a side box that changed when you login or logout.

Taht works fine, but i have an announcement div, that i want to display with a custom message.

When i put <div id="announcement">Hello peoples!</div>

it breaks apart the other divs.

heres my announcement div.

#announcement { 
  width: 139px;
  border: solid #3636FF 1px;
  padding: 4px;
  text-align: center;
  background-color: #DADAFF;
  font-size: 10px;
  font-family: arial; 
}

Code (markup):

and heres my login box

	<div id="main_box">
	<h2>&raquo; <?php
	echo $login_title;
	?> </h2>
	<p class="center">
<?php
if($logged == 1)
{
  echo $date;
?></p>
<div id="announcement">Hello Peoples!</div>
<p><?php
  echo $login;
}
else
{
  echo $login;
}
?>
	</p>
	</div>

Code (markup):

anyone know what could be wrong?

 

it's kind of hard to see what it is without actually seeing the whole code,
it could be something really simple as a float or position error.

 

maybe a live link would help?

 

1. Are you using a universal reset? If not, google it.
2. Remove the padding from that and use margins for the elements inside (#announcement)

 

Maybe the announcement div is to wide?

But as the others say - without seeing the page in question, you wont get a proper answer.

 

i am using a universal reset, and the webpage in question is http://bobbanation.freehostia.com (i thought i provided this link in the first post. sorry)
you can view source to see whats going on, or i will give you a little snapshot of what is going on

<div id="main_box">
	<h2>» Welcome Homer! </h2>
	<p class="center">
Thursday, November 8, 2007</p><div id="announcement">Hello people!</div>
<a href="/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox&sid=2a23c630ecdb37e495b04f4ac1f0bff0">Inbox (0)</a> | <a href="forum/ucp.php?mode=logout&sid=2a23c630ecdb37e495b04f4ac1f0bff0">Logout</a>	
	</div>

Code (markup):

 

sorry, also you need to login, use these credentials

 

A link to the actual file would be helpful, not the directory listing of folders.

 

argh, it was the wrong url

http://absolutehabbo.freehostia.com

you need to login to show though.

sorry again,
