sorry i was traveling, just got back. looks like we were both correct. i did indeed have everything proper – it was just the padding/spacing that needed to be drastically adjusted. one thing i don’t understand, though, is why the padding for the main (content) area would need to push all the way from the left-hand margin instead of from the right side of sidebar-left. makes no sense to me.

alas, i know that all of this plays on logic and i’m just not understanding the setup. you know, computer fallibility usualy = nil, human fallibility usually = constant. haha.

i say this because i did a separate part of the site in html and didn’t need to do that. it was pretty much fine from the get-go, hence my confusion.

i assume i’ll ‘get’ it someday; in the meantime, thanks a lot for your help. should i assume you’re from quirm.net (as it’s linked on your username)? if so, let me know so i can email you & send you some goodies.

cheers,

what i should say is that i can get the sidebar-left to float left, but parts of the main content box are then pushing all the way left as well.

my wrapper in css is content. in there i have sidebar-left, main, and sidebar. no matter how i slice it, the main css is not fully recognizing the sidebar-left, its h2’s (but not the text within) are still floating all the way left in the content box, even though my sidebar-left php call is in front of it.

if that makes any sense whatsoever.

that totally worked for starters, thanks a million. i had placed the sidebar-left in the index.php before the sidebar call, so it’s…

content – sidebar-left – sidebar

…right now.

question if i may…where should i be placing the sidebar-left call to have it show up on the left-hand side? all my css are float-left and even though i messed around with them, i couldn’t get the order proper. i then assume that it has something to do with where my sidebar-left call is placed in the index.php file. or maybe a combination of both.

i tried different locations for the sidebar-left call in the php file but none are coming up proper. hence my question.

thanks again!
