haven’t used it myself but the Share This plugin does that and gives links to digg, del.icio.us etc.

Can’t really help you mate, but I’d guess it’s something in the css stylesheet… perhaps the overflow tag.

If you bring it up on a css help forum you might get a better response than here. Sorry I can’t help you more :/

Hi Otto,

Thank you for the help. Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply, I haven’t had the time to get into this over holiday period.

I appreciate your clarification between display attributes and content and am rethinking what I was doing. Btw, putting the class onto a UL solved perfectly what i was asking, thanks!

The page in mind is actually a directory of local services for a website where I will be blogging to that community, I had split the services into groups eg: Government, Services & Schools, Local Health Services, Transport, Travel & Tourism etc; and listing their individual details meant fora long page where a lot of page scrolling was required!

By hiding each list under their group titles it makes it easier for the user to find what they’re looking for faster- which may be the latest train times, the number for their local doctor, primary school etc.

Thanks again for increasing my understanding of WP, I am thinking now of perhaps just splitting it into individual pages for each group, and using parent pages to manage them.

I should probably point out that the script is working fine, i have tested it in plain html and it is also used in header.php for the archives menu where it works grand, it’s just that page writer is stripping my divs!

Hey,

A text widget will do you fine there, just put the <img src=…> code in there and it should work.

Yeah right enough!

The IE hack in the stylesheet is irrelevent in IE7.

I guess I’m not the first person with this type of qualm?

^ https://powerplay-golf.com/blog/ I think is the link moshu.

The image must be called by the css stylesheet somewhere, so why not right click the image on the blog and find it’s name, then open the stylesheet in your text editor and search / find for the image name.

My blog shows an image in place of the standard bullet point, and the css which causes it to looks like this:

#midCol li {background:url(images/li.gif) no-repeat 0 3px;

If you have something like this I would suggest removing it, or formatting it as you would like it to look!

Hey KM, I’m sorry, I would really like to put a link, and I’m sure it would help me out heaps, but the site is under password protection at the mo as it’s not finished or launched :/

It’s really just a case of manipulating the width of the democracy plugin in a sidebar of the Gridfocus theme (examples of the same theme & sidebar structure here and here).

I should point out that I’m fairly sure it is the plugin width that’s causing the problem, because

a) the nature of the third column’s movement out-of-place is the same as if I insert an image which is too wide for the second sidebar, and

b) the error only occurs when i actually vote on the poll, and not before then.

Cheers guys.

Daltonrooney: Nah that’s not what I want to do.

Moshu: Is it possible to do this with WP installed on the root domain- or is there another way of having a non-static front page?

Thanks for the help.

Done! All I had to do was enter the search box html as a text widget… doh. Things aren’t as complicated as they seem.

Hey Cathy,

Sorry I didn’t make it clear enough, the btn_search.gif is the file I want to use, currently i’m just getting the standard search button and want to replace it with the gif!

jabecker, cheers, I will try the same using the searchsubmit value instead of searchWrap.

Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks for the reply MMM. I’m not sure it is javascript, I mean it’s just the standard wp search plugin… but then again I don’t really have a scooby here!

It’s in the searchbox div, and is a ‘submit’ type, which is all I know. Thanks for your help regardless…

M.

Can anyone help with this?

Can’t find any reference to styling the actual button, have tried adding the background image tag to #searchWrap and to #searchWrap #s but it either doesn’t work or turns the page to gibberish!

Any help would be massively appreciated. ??

Thanks again moshu.
