Sidebar getting dropped to bottom of page... no idea why - GoFuckYourself.com

thmvp20 · 09-24-2011, 11:19 PM

I'm not sure where else to go with this problem... hopefully someone reading this would be willing to help out.

I have a pornstar blog at www.evanotty.net and the sidebar is showing up UNDER all of the posts... you have to scroll down near the bottom to even see the sidebar

The CSS file of this blog is identical to about 15 other pornstar blogs that I run, none of which have this problem...

Still, I have tried:

- Increasing the body of the page to allow more than enough space for the sidebar within the container
- Disabled each post to isolate the cause and got nothing from that
- Decreasing the size of the sidebar... nothing...

How can I resolve the issue?

would anyone be willing to take a look at my page or CSS file and give some advice?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe an ad too wide?

try looking at the z-index settings, if you play with these in the sidebar you should be able to bring the layer it runs in forwards so it is on top of everything.

Have a look at: http://www.tizag.com/cssT/reference/z-index.php

Wild guess, if it is not the CSS then check the html structure

If you have 15 other that are working with the same CSS, then check if the html structure is the same for the other as well or not, since your html is well commented you should be able to spot it easily.

You may try to put the sidebar div inside container

Now it is:
</div>
<div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
.......
</div>
</div>

Try to move the </div>
like:
<div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
.......
</div>
</div>
</div>

You may need to tweak a template or something to do it

Thanks to everyone for the responses... I expected 0 and I got 3!

Going to try your suggestions after my Bills get hammered by the Patriots today

I would suggest resizeing the main pictures, i got this same problem with my blog. I resized the picture and it worked.

Good luck

Thanks to everyone for the image-size / ad related responses, but as I suspected... that was not it...

My max-image width is set to 540px, I brought that down 100 just for the hell of it and still no-go

Going to try the suggestion from idogfy next... have a feeling he nailed it on the head... because the CSS is a mirror image of sites that don't have this issue

Oh yeah... GO BILLS - WE FINALLY DID IT BABY!!! LAST TIME WE BEAT THE PATRIOTS FACEBOOK DID NOT EXIST YET - THAT IS CORRECT (even if nobody cares i had to throw that in there)

You got it!! Thanks a ton for looking at that

Indeed I tweaked something in the HTML previously and a mistake in doing that (had the same </div><! container! > twice in the code) that caused this to happen

Now the sidebar appears as it should!

Check for a space or unclosed tag.

Dreamweaver will show them to you.
