Update: I've managed to sort of fix the problem for the moment with  
absolute position of the FAQ and What's New boxes, but absolute  
positioning causes some problems. I was hoping not to have to set the  
left position as it makes it impossible to get to those elements when  
in admin mode (it's on a CMS platform). So if there's a way I can get  
those boxes to stay put under the menu without absolute positioning,  
I'd be happy to know it.

Thank you!

[css-d] Need help with wonky vertical spacing

2009-10-05 Thread Jody Levinson
On this site: http://www.adlergiersch.com - please note the position  
of the "Getting Started" box in the left column under the menu.

On this test page: http://www.adlergiersch.com/test  the box is  
elongated vertically. The difference between the two pages is the  
coding for the menu. The original site pages use outdated 'coolmenus'  
to style the menu and I need to update it to a more modern css menu.  
But for some reason, the new menu css is interfering with the box  
below. I've tried quite a number of things but can't get it to behave.

The css for both pages is here: http://www.adlergiersch.com/agstyles.css

But the css for the old coolmenus style is here: 
http://www.adlergiersch.com/coolmenustyle.css

The only errors I'm seeing when I validate are related to the  
translucency on the menu.

Thank you!

Jody
