Twenty Ten – Issue with CSS for the Sidebar

can you post a link to your site?

thanks

fyi
this is code i put into style.css, exactly copied from firebug as i did for changes to main column and navigation bar.

.widget-title {border: solid 1px #999999; padding-bottom: 5px;}

you tried div#primary etc {} ?

hmm. not .widget-title ?

you have (at least) one mistake in your style.css

#access ul li.current_page_item > a, #access ul li.current-menu-ancestor > a, #access ul li.current-menu-item > a, #access ul li.current-menu-parent > a {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    background: #ff0000;

/*Sidebar*/

(missing } )

which stops the styles further down from being applied.

try to run https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ for instance

fixed that. thanks for pointing out what was missing. looks like css is working now. many thanks
