funny header_required

Permalink
So, I've been working on my theme, and when I put the c5 header, it showed up as a blank white bar. Searching thru the forums I realized that it was a jquery error so I deleted my gallery, and lo and behold, it appeared at the top, but now it looks weird with the icons stacked on top of each other... what's going on??? I've deleted all the code from the theme except the header to see if it was another conflict, but it still had the issue. Everything seems to be working except it looks messed up while logged in... what's going on?

wrap your theme in a div and apply the ids in css

also a pic would make this easier

It looks like everything is being pushed down 54px or something like that.

I believe defunct posted a good tutorial on that on his website.

Yep.

That's that I quoted his site.

There was about 2 or so forum posts several months ago.

Are you using IE? If so, your problem might be that no doctype (or the wrong one) is declared at the top of your theme -- seehttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/themes/this-is-strange-ev...

#1 don't use httrack to rip themes,

#2 put a div around the html with an id,

then in the css put the div id before the generic css selectors (like the ones selecting all links etc un orderedlists )

#1 How did you know?? I will buy the theme now as a show of penance...

#2 I will try it, and see if that works, but that sounds like a good idea... the css is the style.css correct? Thanks for all your help!
