alignment issues

  • Hello all, the problem I have right now is that when you view a post in a category, the post doesn’t fit inside and goes out of the box on both sides. Like it needs to be 90% instead of 100% but I can’t find where to edit the format for category posts. Thanks.

  • you might want to provide a link, so people can view the site and source, so to perhaps find the problem, rather than give a band-aid.

    It could be a bad tag, or an image, which I’ve seen both bork a div.

    that would help, sorry about that

    I’m using this url to finish the site design and then move it over.

    thanks

    Your text in the post is in a div called “entrytext” but I couldn’t find it defined in the CSS.

    I’m using the Scattered theme and in the style.css there is no entrytext

    Check the validation of your site as there are some errors there that might fix your problem up.

    You have two inline style references that deal with your #header. This is sure to cause some conflicts.

    Your “post” is in the content and post selectors (style references) so check in your CSS for those to clean up the problems with the post size.

    You also have a javascript in the wrong place. You put it there as these usually don’t come with the Themes. Check in the header.php template file at the very top for the script. It needs to be in the head section which begins with:

    <head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

    There are other problems, but let’s start there.

    wow, lots of issues for a template. It’s pretty much stock from when I downloaded it.

    As for the “post”, in the CSS “post” and “content” there are no references to post size.

    Thanks for the help, I haven’t seen any differences in browsers though so thats good for starters.

    I fixed the javascript and #header doubles.

    I took a look at your site just now in FF Mac, and it’s still needing help. I noticed the theme is set up for a sidebar, but you’ve removed the sidebar.

    I’ve seen some really nice one column themes, as well, you may want to simply look at some of those, and just skim the header navigation if you really like it. And speaking of, it looks like the last nav button is not lining up with the others, and that is one reason things are out of whack.

    Well, allpedal, your site still has alignment issues in Win FF1.0.4, and IE6.0.
    What changes did you make to the original Scattered theme? Is the widecolumn declaration the same as in the original, with the same padding, width and margin settings? Can’t think of what else changes the width of the posts.

    Well I installed the newest theme and will be starting over with it and see how this goes. This is my first time to start actually working with wp but I’m really pleased.
