using a pre-existing css template, header not appearing as expected

[LisaDe77]

Hello, I have ‘dangerous’ knowledge when it comes to dreamweaver and css. I am trying to use a nice free css template and am not trying to change too much. However my homepage doesn’t match existing and I am stumped.

I know it has something to do with:
#header {
width: 960px;
height: 127px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 8px 0px 0px 0px;

Note: the ‘logo’ on the left, neatly aligns with the ‘tab offerings’ on the right.

When I publish my template, my tab offering drop down. Can anyone tell me what to do to remedy this?

Still learning…please tell me what other info will point me to fixing this. Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa,

If you could provide a link to your version of the site, we’ll be better able to diagnose what you’ve done!

What if I didn’t publish it yet?!?

If not, a screen shot of the problem would help.

Yep, that is a good suggestion:
How do I paste a gif? or whatever?

You’ll need to upload it to your own server, or use a service like Photobucket.

Then post it to the forum by going

I’m not sure I understand what is happening, but my best guess would be that the element dropping down is being floated and does not have enough space to stay in place, thus dropping down. Link to files or screenshot?
