Zeniph, thanks! That worked!

Another problem that I am having is that the if the browser window is less than 1280 wide, then the content area starts straying into the vertical navbar area. Any ideas?

Drew, did the background repeat code. Fixed on the bottom but shows on top. Also the vertical navbar drops down and content area is on top of it.

Any ideas please?

One last request Drew, can you take a look at the site in IE 6 or 7. A part of the background for the center shows in the top and bottom. Any suggestion please?

Hey that works! Thanks a bunch!

Ok I removed both sets in functions.php and now the content goes above the sidenav…

Here is the original code (not the modded one)
===

<?php

 ************************************************************************************/

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/themetoolkit.php');

/************************************************************************************
 * THEME AUTHOR : edit the following function call :
 ************************************************************************************/

themetoolkit(
	'mytheme', /* Make yourself at home :
			* Name of the variable that will contain all the options of
			* your theme admin menu (in the form of an array)
			* Name it according to PHP naming rules (https://php.net/variables) */

	array(     /* Variables used by your theme features (i.e. things the end user will

			* 'gender' => 'Gender {radio|girl|You are a female|boy|You are a male} ## What is your gender ?'
			* Dont forget the comma at the end of each line ! */
	'floatbar' => 'Sidebar Option {radio|left|Left Sidebar|right|Right Sidebar}',

	),
	__FILE__	 /* Parent. DO NOT MODIFY THIS LINE !
			  * This is used to check which file (and thus theme) is calling
			  * the function (useful when another theme with a Theme Toolkit

);

/************************************************************************************

I tried looking for that and for whatever reason I could not find it any of the theme docs. I finally found it buried inside “functions.php”. I’ll give that a try!

Drew, BTW I am more than willing to repay you with a few Sbux drinks (or beers), whatever your preference…

Drew, many thanks for the changes. For some reason now the sidenav is not aligning to the top of the page.

Also, please give me an example of the embedded styles.

Hi Drew, thanks for the suggestion but it didn’t seem to help…

Thanks in advance for any other tips…
