Platform Pro - Sidebar pushed down below content area

[knox 0]

I narrowed content area to 900px and adjust main content area to 490px and right sidebar to 410 pix and sidebar is pushed down below existing content. How can I fix, please? Thank you. You can see here: http://mikepencepresident.org.s110270.gridserver.com/

You might need to account for the 26px padding/margin between the two. Thanks, Bryan

This seems to happen to me on one of my other sites but only with IE7 (default settings in the Layout Editor, 930 with 640 and 320). Firefox seems to show it correctly. -Adam

You might need to account for the 26px padding/margin between the two.

And can you please explain where I to that? The only way I can see to change column widths is with the visual adjustment tool, which doesn't account for the 26px. I can't manually change the column widths in the admin screen. I tried. Frankly I would think that the 26px gutter would be automatically called for. Thank you.

@Knox You would simply lessen one of the two by 26px, I believe. So, 490 becomes 464 or 410 becomes 384

Thank you, but where do you do that? I try to type new measures right in the admin screen- using three different browsers. That didn't work - I can highlight the numbers, but cannot make changes. Then I tried downloading the Platform-Pro settings and manually changing the content column width and re-imported. But it changed the sidebar column width when I reimported, so that the two together still added up to 900px. This seems to be a bug. And it needs to be fixed! Or is there some other place in the admin screens where I can make changes. Thank you.

On an added note, I reset the layout to the original settings, and the sidebar was STILL pushed down. So this is a real bug in the layout mechanism. And a serious problem ... I need to go live with this site soon!!!!

Knox, Are you using the admin settings with IE? I found that switching to Firefox and using the Admin settings removed some of the strange behaviour I was seeing and now the layout has fixed itself. I wish I could point to the specific thing that I did to fix it thought (assuming that it has been fixed). -Adam

What happened to my reply from yesterday? It disappeared. Weird. What I said was: no I am using a Mac and I tried to access the admin screen in three different browsers. What I don't understand is why even the default settings are displaying incorrectly. It seems to me this is a massive bug or mistake in the theme- I don't know. But if default settings are broken, hell! I will gladly send login info if someone wants to look at it. Need an email addy. Thanks.

This is being caused by your custom css rule: ` body #page .content-pad { padding: 0px 0 0px 15px; } `

Well, that custom rule is the solution I was given here in this forum to remove the padding above the header graphic. So my question now would be: how do I remove the padding above the header graphic AND have the sidebar not get pushed down? Thank you.

And yes, you are correct, I removed: body #page .content-pad { padding: 0px 0 0px 15px; } And now the sidebar is correctly aligned, but i have a 25px gap at the top of the page that i would like to close. Thank you.
