problems with content - losing the will to live (lol)

Post by beeswax »

I got a site on the go here - http://www.hotsoup.co.uk/AnythingGoes/index.php and I'm struggling with the menu and content. I've created a div tag to hold the (horizontal) menu, and that seems to be working fine, though I need to mess with the colours somewhat, but which is the tag for the content, and how do I place it in relationship to the page so that content appears in the space below?
thanks in advance

you will get a centered menu with this...

#menuwrapper {
        overflow: hidden;
        background-color: #ECECEC;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
        width: 756px;
        margin: 0px;
        }

I've changed the #menuwrapper in the Default CSSMenu Horizontal stylesheet to reflect your recommended chages and the menu's hugging the left of the container again. I can only assume that I've changed the wrong file. Some way to spend a Saturday night!

Mark, I'm falling asleep over this. I've been up since 0530 and it's now 2310. It's been a very busy day, not all to do with CMSMS. And my wife has told that she's going to bed now, in that tone of voice that wives have.
I must just add that this site - http://www.falingepark.com is live now. It's getting loads of visitors, though that must have a lot to do with what went before. I've put in a link to CMSMS (you'll have to scroll down to see it) and hopefully you'll be getting loads of enquiries/visitors. I've tried many CMS systems over the past 6 or 7 months, and yours is the one which comes closest to meeting my needs.
thanks again, and goodnight.

http://www.hotsoup.co.uk/AnythingGoes/index.php I can't figure out why the menu items are numbered. I haven't seen this before.
