So I got this website where everything were lined up perfectly, the header, body footer etc. Past week I tried to add a sidebar and I realized that it pushed my main content down. So many question is, how can I make the margins/height of my sidebar independent of my main content? (Posted CSS code below)
DEMO: Edit: http://oldtimesdaily.tumblr.com/ my tumblr with code. How it looks right now. The absolute position worked, the main content is back at top. But now all contents of my sidebar are jammed together, I guess absolute positionen removes all margins? What should I use instead to position the different contents on my sidebar?
#quote { /*style for quote division*/
position:relative;
width:375px;
height:70px;
border:1px solid black;
font-family:sans-serif;
font-size:95%;
padding:3px;
background-color:lightyellow;
}
#auth { /*style for quote author, if any*/
position:absolute;
bottom:3px;
right:10px;
}
#sidebar { /*editable*/
background: url('http://s10.postimg.org/uag5u79d1/vline.png') repeat-y left center;
background-color: white;
width: 260px;
position: relative;
top: 700px;
left: 55%;
}
#sidebar .sTitle {
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
position: relative;
margin: 0px 20px 0px;
color: #222;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 1;
font-family: QuicksandBold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
letter-spacing: 3px;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 0px;
}
#sidebar .Categories {
font-size: 11px;
text-align: center;
padding: 3px 5px;
margin: 50px;
}
position: absolute;
will make the sidebar independent of the rest of the page
