HTML - Left Sidebar Text Shows Up On Right Side
Hello all-
This is my first post on HTML forums, and I hope ya'll can help me out with this issue. I feel really dumb...and think that my problem is probably a simple one, but I can't figure it out. I've got a left sidebar, coded to float left in CSS, and in dreamweaver it shows up appropriately. However, whenever I look on firefox or ie, the left shows up on the right. I've also got an orange background image that DOES show up in the correct spot. I'm wondering if my problem could be related to the fact I've got the image listed under main-content, not the left sidebar. I've moved that line in the CSS, but it didn't help. Here is a link to my problem: http://www.durhamsafekids.org/main.html Here is my CSS code: Code: body { font-size: 62.5%; background: url(images/top-bdr.jpg) repeat; } p, li { font: 1.2em/1.8em Sabon, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; } h1 { font: 2.0em "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; color: white; height: 0px; } h2 { font: 1.8em "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; color: #99cc33; margin-bottom: 10px; } h4 { font :Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #0078AA; } h3 { font :Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #333399; } ul { margin-left: 25px; } img { border: none; } #page-wrap { background: white; width: 960px; margin: 10px auto; } #page-wrap #inside { margin: 10px 10px 0px 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; } #main-content { background: url(/images/left-sidebar.gif) repeat-y white; padding-left: 230px; padding-top: 20px; } #header { background: #ffffff; text-align: center; } #menu { background: #ffffff; } #left-sidebar { width: 185px; float: left; padding-left: 15px; padding-top: 20px; } #footer { background: #99cc33; text-align: center; padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; color: #006699; font-size: 12px; } .footer a:link { /* Applies to unvisited links in class mainNav */ text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #006699; } .footer a:visited { /* Applies to visited links in class mainNav */ text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #006699; } .footer a:hover { /* Applies to links under the pointer in class mainNav */ text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; color: #006699; } /* ================================================================ This copyright notice must be kept untouched in the stylesheet at all times.

The page I'm working on has a logo in the top left corner that gets cut off when the browser window is reduced to a smaller size. The left navigation bar, however, always appears in the browser window, regardless of size. I'd like to have this left side "anchor" to include the logo so that it always appears. Please let me know if you require additional information or if I have not described the issue clearly enough. Thank you! Hi guys, I need a little help with something thats seems pretty easy but for some reason i can't get it to work. this is my website: www.theblindtaste.com what i would like to do is to reverse the order of the posts shown on the sidebar_left.php. as it is i feel it is a little repetitive since 2 of the same posts are featured in the middle of the page. this is the sidebar_left.php code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <!-- begin r_sidebar --> <div id="sidebar_left"> <h4 class="featuredtitle"><?php echo cat_id_to_name(ot_option('hp_side_cat')); ?></h4> <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=" .ot_option('hp_side_cat').

If i got a site with a comment box, where people can post a comment, and i want the comment they post to be shown on another side? Like when i go to www.whatever.com and post a comment ( Hello ) then the ( Hello ) comment will be shown at my other side with a comment box? What is the code for that? Can I use the (now deprecated) align attribute to do this ....? For the sake of simplicity, say I have 3 paragraphs of text. I want the first placed above an image, the 2nd next to it, and the 3rd below it. I can get the text to the left or right of the image, but when I resize the window, the 3rd paragraph can crawl upwards, and then appear right next to the image. I want to force the text placement as I described above. Thanks Hello. I have text at the top right, "A Site for All Nations to Share their Knowledge!" and I need to move it to the left a bit so its not overlapping the sun image.

BUSINESS POLICY TRADEMARK REGULATIONS. Smith How to do that? Any advise is appreciated.RosieGp For some strange reason if I want to have an ad or image on the left of my text article usually i put a div code around whatever it is like.. Code: <div style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 0px 0px"> </div> This works GREAT in firefox but then i was shocked when i went over to Internet explorer and tested my site there using the latest browser.. it doesnt acknowledge that code and so the ad or the image ends up being above my article instead of nicely on the left and the text wrapped around it on the right like you see in firefox Any ideas how to get around this? Maybe a fix that works for ie. and firefox? thank you guys and gals in advance Hi. I can't figure out how to have all the tables on my site aligned to the centre yet have the text in them aligned to the left.

Thanks. hi i'm new to htm, infact new to making websites at all. i spent ages writting an intoduction, but some one deleted it. i have started writting my first HTML page : http://normington.superfreehost.org/...age%204.1.html so far it's just some embeded movies from youtube. my first problem is that i want to align text to the left of the video and centered vertically. my second problem is that when i view the page source through mozilla i find some extra text that i cant see if i view the page in wordpad. "<!-- Paste this code into the body section, not the head section of the page --> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- ch_client = "b0redum"; ch_non_contextual = 0; ch_keywords = "tech,free"; ch_linkStyle= "style3"; //--></script> <script src="http://scripts.chitika.net/static/linx/chitika_linx.v3.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <div id="PaypopupStartCode" style="display:none"> </div> <script language="JavaScript1.1"> if (typeof(paypopupScriptStart) == 'undefined') {var paypopupScriptStart = false;} if (!paypopupScriptStart) { document.write(unescape("%3Cscript")+' src="http://www.bu520.com/popup.php?'+(new Date()).getTime()+'&id=azzamartin&pop=enter&t=1&subid=107931&blk=1&fc=-1"'+unescape("%3E%3C/script%3E")); paypopupScriptStart = true; } </script> <noscript> </noscript>" what does this text do, and how do i move it? any advice about my page would be apprichiated, items to add etc, the next thing i want to do is make a comments page. is this an easy thing? thanks for your help, Normington. I get how to align two sections of text, one at the left of screen and one on the right, but how do I put this line at the bottom of the screen? I tried pretty much every combination now, bottom:0, vertical-align:bottom, vertical-align:text-bottom, with and without a parent div container, nothing works! The moment I try to put the line of text at the bottom of the screen the left/right alignment would be messed up or it wouldn't show at all. It seems html only allows you to align it left/right OR bottom/top, but not both? Any help is appreciated. This is what I have so far: Code: HTML: <div style="clear:both;" id="bottom"> <p class="left">Text to go on left.</p> <p class="right">Text to go on right.</p> </div> CSS: #bottom { bottom:0; } .left { float: left; } .right { float: right; } I'm having some trouble trying to get the following page to show the three link columns centered, side by side: http://centralmusic.com.previewmysite.com/links.php EDIT: for reference, the title LINK is properly centered, and the ARTIST column should be directly below that, as is seen on the contact page I've tried every trick you can find on google, but nothing seems to work while the float tag is involved, and if I remove the tag then the divs arn't side by side. I've found that if I make a containing DIV with a FIXED witdth, it will center THAT div within it's parent using the margin: 0 trick. however, the 3 interior divs still float to the left of that container div. so if the containing div is wider then the total width of the interior divs, they do not appeared center (however on this page I COULD make use of equal column widths, but it doesn't end up being FF friendly). Alright so I actually tried a couple more things after typing that last paragraph. On this page: http://centralmusic.com.previewmysite.com/gallery.php I find that what i described so far is true, however on the first page i referenced, putting a containing div around the 3 columns made no apparent difference. I'm going to start double checking my code and comparing the two pages for differences to see what I'm doing wrong (on both pages though, the goal is to have a number of divs centered vertically, side by side). If anyone has any comments or hints to help me out that'd be great, but I'll definatley be posting back later with an update once I get a chance to try a few more things. Hi folks, I have a table and in one cell I have two images that normally appear side by side but when an a adjacent cell (or any cell in the same row) gets too large the images end up appearing on top of one another... is there some way to force them to stay side by side? I'd rather not have a table within the cell in question although i suppose i could if there's not some html or css way to make it work. Thanks in advance, Michael Hello i am having some trouble aligning some checkboxes. I am trying to get them to sit side by side horizontally but when i do this with absolute positioning i will click the first set and it will check the second so i have to go way to the left of the first set to check mark it. Sorry for the butchered script.
