Hi - I need to have my left sidebar start 478px BELOW the header. I have tried everything - absolute positioning, margin-top, etc... but nothing is moving my sidebar DOWN. Here is what I currently have:

And attached is what it NEEDS to look like.

I have that red phone image set as the background for that page because I need a different background for each page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

try adding

td#left {    position: relative;
    top: 200px;
}

and adjust it to what you need

thanks for the reply juggledad, unfortunately that did not work... nothing moved at all... I tried position absolute, relative, fixed and changed the top and bottom... also tried margin-top... I have no idea why nothing seems to be working for this sidebar!!! I appreciate your time on this!

Try this
In the Left Sidebar style box change the margin-top to 360px and add display: inline-block

display: inline-block;
margin-top: 360px;

just where did you put the css?

Hi lmilesw,

That worked! thanks so much! Juggledad, I put the css in the theme options > add html/css area... I tried it there and in the actual css.php file as well... I appreciate both of your help! How do I donate to you guys?? thanks!!

Larry's solution was correct. What was odd was I used firebug to test what I geve you and it worked for me and not for Larry and as I increased the number (using the up arrow) it suddenly would snap to the top again...a bug in firebug me thinks.

to donate, click the 'Click Here To DONATE' at the top of this page

excellent! thanks so much guys! I really appreciate your help!

Hi guys,

I just noticed an issue... the black background does not extend down the page anymore ... like the content on the right goes further down and I want the whole sidebar to extend all the way with it.. see what I mean here..

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

go to ato->export/import settings, export your settings and attach them to a reply

Hi Juggledad,

I have attached the settings file...

Thanks!

To accomplish what you want will take a "rethinking" of all the elements. For instance the background image should probably be added to perhaps the wrapper or maybe the header. You may also have to add a background to the tablerow like you want the left sidebar and then add a white background to #middle.

You might have to create a background image for the sidebar that has a transparent area at the top instead of using display: inline-block.

The list goes on and on but hopefully that will give you a heads up.

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay on this... So here is what I did without getting too crazy ... I just kept everything how it was and then I am just adding blank widgets in the left sidebar until the black background goes all the way down! I know this is not idea but it will work for now. I am actually trying to get the client to do a whole redesign so we will see! I want to thank you so much for all of your help!!! =)
