i am working on a bottom sidebar and have 4 columns. i am using the following to display this.

<div id=recent”>
<?php get_archives(‘postbypost’,’10’,’custom’,’

‘,’
‘); ?>
</div>
but there is about 30 px of whitespace that isnt supposed to be there and is throwing off my design the css for this is the following

#recent {
float: left;
}

i have tried using the right property for the next element but that doesnt work either because if i make then browser window smaller it doesnt line up properly with the rest of the design thanks

i have a problem with aligning items. i am doing a bottom sidebar with 4 columns and above it there is a custom navigation bar that it needs to staye line up with so i am able to spread everything out by use the right property and setting how many px i want it ti be right. but when i make the browser window smaller the columns doesnt stay aligned w the nav buttons they move please help.

margins worked with float but i decided to go with the
position: absolute;
left: (width of the previous child container);

thanks for everything you have been a great help

you say when I use float: left there are a number of ways to position it. What are those ways. I tried margins and they didnt work

ok thanks let me try that and see what happens

ok in what ways? what i dont understand is that i can i float it left of the sidebar when the sidebar really isnt a physical element it just has all the coantainers in it.

could i also use right : 25px in CSS

i need to figure out how to have 4 columns in the sidebar container and then have them be next to each other. I am not sure how to make this work.

ok so say i want t get them to be next to each other instead of one under the other i was going to use float : left which takes it an makes it left of its parent element

i am trying to have my sidebar be on the bottom thanks

thanks

the solution was just what you said thanks

thanks you so much that helps alot

i dont like the new look and i sometimes cant acess it
