Sidebar Issue

I have opened my site on two different computers using different browsers, and I've got a mega problem with my sidebar. It shows up fine on the homepage (see siggy) but if you go to the table of contents and open an article, it kicks the entire sidebar below the bottom of the page. WTH? Any idea how to fix this? Are you seeing it the way I am?

  • Hi,
    Can you post your website link so that i can check
    Where it is going wrong if you don't wish to post your web site link
    then you just go for validating your css and html code using w3 validation
    and you can find errors that make this difference
  • It's the site in my signature and a couple of other people verified it's doing that. So how do I fix it??? Should I post this in the .php/.css forum?
  • Looks like you're getting it fixed - it keeps changing every time I look at it

    • It's likely to do with the widths of different elements of the pages and the CSS. For instance if the page is using "floats" and the different elements total width equal more than the total browser window width it will push the next element to the next row.

      One method of dealing with this is to set a parent container with a "min-width" value so the browser window width can't shrink below a specified width. You can do some Googling for CSS dynamic layout or CSS liquid layout to learn more about the particulars for this.
  • WOAH! The sidebar gets located wrong (as you're saying) randomly. Like often it appears in the right side as it is supposed to. Only sometimes it gets kicked to the bottom when I refresh the page.

    I can't figure out what the problem is but I think it can be because of some plugin that you're using. Try disabling all the plugins for once?
