Thanks Colin for continuing to look at this thing. I posted the only files in my app that have "sidebar" in their content on http://www.pastie.org/874534.
Consecutively, they are: app\views\expenses\new.html.erb app\views\layouts\expenses.html.erb app\views\layouts\standard.html.erb public\stylesheets\style.css I'm looking around for some simple html/css code that has a single page split in into main and sidebar. I think I've done or saw this a year or two ago.

If you just view the html in the browser (View, Page > Source) for the sidebar what do you see? Is the div id='sidebar' > there?
