I was just tweaking my wordpress blog ( PremiumPosts.com ) and creating a banner for the header, and in the process I think I may have accidentally moved or deleted some code and now the format is a bit messed up. If anyone can help I would very much appreciate it! 1) How do I get rid of the grey area between the blue header and the first grey bar. 2) In IE my right hand sidebar buttons are overlaping the center area and pushing my content down when I resize my browser window (doesn't happen with FireFox?) 3) Lastly, can someone tell me how to get the background gradient grey to be a solid color instead of a fading grey? (I am trying to make my ads blend in a bit better). -Thanks!
Regarding the grey area you can remove the <br> tag in your header.php file. and i dont see any overlapping in firefox.
Here is the code if it helps. I'm pretty sure this is the only section in the Header that I was messing with. I figured this might help all you smarty pants that can actually understand what it means <body> <div id="container"> <a href="http://www.premiumposts.com"><img src=" http://www.premiumposts.com/wp-content/uploads/PP_banner.jpg" border="0" alt="PremiumPosts.com"></a> <div id="sitename"> <h2><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h2> <h2><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2> </div> <?php if (is_page()) { $highlight = ""; } else {$highlight = "current"; } ?> <div id="mainmenu"> <ul class="level1"> <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php if(function_exists("wp_andreas09_nav")) { wp_andreas09_nav("sort_column=menu_order&list_tag=0&show_all_parents=1&show_root=1"); } ?> </div> <div id="wrap">
So does that mean that there is nothing I can do about the overlapping in IE? P.S. Tyler, do you ever go to sleep? I appreciate all your help and advice but I'm starting to worry about you. We might have to have an intervention before you O.D. on D.P.
Maybe I'm an idiot but I don't see a <br> tag in my header. Also is there anything I can do about the formatting problem with IE?
I still don't have answers to the questions I originally posted in this thread so if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Here are my questions again: 1) How do I get rid of the grey area between the blue header and the first grey bar. 2) Can I edit the code so that when using IE my right hand sidebar buttons don't overlap the center area and push my content down when I resize my browser window (doesn't happen with FireFox or Safari?) 3) Lastly, can someone tell me how to get the background gradient grey to be a solid color instead of a fading grey? (I am trying to make my ads blend in a bit better). -Thanks!
hey ! I found the answer to one of your problems Actually you're using a very big image inside your posts (http://www.premiumposts.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/brabus-slr-interior.jpg ) this one, with a size of 610 x 410 You shouldnt be adding images with a width of more than 550 pixels. I'll see if i can try and figure out the solutions for the other problems. Also, i think you shouldn't be putting that extra link in your header : The one in bold should be removed.
hi Julien. Reducing the image width will get rid of the overlap you are seeing in IE. Now for the extra space between the header.. You will have to change the following code in the header to this: just move both links on the same 'div' hope u fix it soon
rosiee007, Your awsome, thanks for your help! I have made the changes to my blog (PremiumPosts.com) and am starting to like how it looks. I haven't yet removed the extra link from my header though and am wondering why you think it should be taken out? Don't most headers usually link back to the homepage? It looks like you know what your talking about so I was interested to hear your explanation. Thanks again, I appreciate you taking the time to help me out!
Julien, The link i was talking about was extra. You are already linking to your home page from the image which is in the header. The second link actually has no anchor text (link text) in it. If you remove it, the link on the image will still be there. I'm just pointing out the extra link. If you add your Blog name, that might start appearing in it. here. In that case, you can keep it Also, I'd suggest that you add something in the title. You shouldn't keep it empty.
