classifieds top margin

Where in css classifieds can I move the top margin down. My header is covering some of the top part of classified ads.

It's not in classifieds.css currently, you need to add it if your looking to lower the body block just on classifieds, use this:

 

body
 {
  margin-top:10px;
   }

 

Just add it under:

 

/*.main {
  background-color:#FFFFFF;
  border:1px solid #999999;
  margin:4px auto 5px;
  padding:8px 12px 12px 11px;
  position:relative;
  width:770px;
 }*/
/**************************************************************/

 

And then play with the margin-top:10px; line of it to get it where you want it.

Post link to site so we can see. Most of us here use firebug which will help us narrow down the location.

How do you ever make these messes.  Okay, need to know what you did here, as you currently have menu in the _header.html file below __top_banner__ it appears, causing it to drag down below everything else.

 

Next, in templates/tmpl_uni/css/general.css

 

Please locate the following sections and adjust them for us please, note I'm giving you line #'s here:

 

.topMenuWrapper {                                                                       general.css (line 419)
padding-left:10px;
position:relative;
top:35px;
z-index:100;
}
h2.pageHeader {                                                                            general.css (line 643)
color:#666666;
font-size:24px;
height:57px;
margin-top:100px;
padding:8px 0 0 14px;
}
These items will get you started on your way to fixing it, probably not a total fix yet, but a start.  Also, please get that right click disable out of your _header.html file while we're trying to help you out with this, it's a pain to work with it there.
***Your entire site is doing this, note the homepage of it, when you hover over a menu item the submenu is popping over everything else with a white (not-transparent) background and your .head_content boxes are disappearing, very annoying from the end user's point of view.  These changes will lower it on all parts.

thanks for the info...How would i change the .head_content boxes cause they are very annoying to me also.

The best way to do it is for you to grab Firefox and install the Add-On Firebug.  Then open up your site in Firefox and click on the area that is annoying you (right click, yes it means you have to turn right click off while you build, especially for template issues) and then click on Inspect.  From there it will open a split screen for you, the left is the html/php of your site, the right is the CSS, just adjust the CSS until you have it the way you want, then note what you did along with the file location (if you hover your mouse over the file name it'll show the entire path) and then make the adjustments you need.

Well I seemed to get the margins down some but I ran into another problem..Now the tabs are over lapping on the main page..

Quote · 27 Jul 2009

When you say main page, do you mean main page for classifieds or the main page as in home page of your site.  Specifics help us out a lot here.

I did the following in Firebug to your home page:

 

.bodyBlock {                                           templates/tmpl_uni/css/index.css (line 5)
margin-top:75px;
}
You had the margin-top at 30px causing the boxes to conflict with the menu, at 75px your menu opens as if it's sitting on the boxes.  Try it out, and please get that right click off there, it's a pain to have to dig for the sections when we can't just click and bring up what we need to help you.

 It looks it... Sorta like a trailer park that Katrina sat in for a couple months... But you gotta respect her, she designed this template herself from scratch, someone like that the least we can do is give her a hand on polishing it up.  Shows more guts than the average person we get asking for help.

 My bad there.  But the 18 is the issue, you need to increase the margin-top so you have room for the submenu that opens below, currently this is causing the interference between the submenu and your bodyblock, by increasing the margin you will clear up that issue.
