Help! I'm out of position!

CaptainRon

Can somebody help me find out why the navigation buttons have moved down from wher they should be on my new site? I know I screwed up a file or something but I haven't been able to backtrack to find out what I did to cause this problem. The site url is:

www.theartisanshop.com

Any help will be most appreciated.

Thanks.

should be

Thanks for the very fast reply. Unfortunately, the code correction didn't solve the problem. The nav tabs and the "Search:" and "Browse by Category" boxes are still sitting well below where they should be. I'm attaching a screen shot of the basic site showing the proper position of the elements.

I would guess these are css issues-- for example, you appear to have at least a couple of extra } in your css page. Once can be found just above
#header .menu{
I don't know if that will fix the problem, but I think it should help

I am a beginner as well but you may want to try to change the menu css

margin-top: 97px

Try decreasing this to 94 or 95px and see if that helps.

First thing to do: fix whatever is sending the invalid charset header:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"$CHARSET\"

I'm guessing you're doing this via a PHP header() command? If so, we'll need to see the source code if you want us to help resolve that.

After that, run the page through the W3.org HTML Validator until all HTML errors are resolved. Once your HTML is solid, the use the CSS Validator (right now you appear to have no CSS syntax errors. 🙂 )

Once all that is taken care of, then we can give a look at any tweaking that might be necessary to get the appearance just right.
