Re: [css-d] Can't find source of block-level error
Subject: [css-d] Can't find source of block-level error http://blog.kim.thewei.com/ I could use some help with this. I've managed to totally confuse myself. My sidebar won't snap into place to the right of my narrowcolumn, and my page won't validate. I can't figure out what's going on. Thanks . . . Kimi Wei 201.475.1854 http://thewei.com 03/18/2008 Kim: A couple of things. It appears that you have the nav sidebar nested within the .narrowcolumn. And you will also have to declare an explicit width on the .narrowcolumn, other wise it will expand and fill the entire width of #content, and not allow anything to float next to it. It has to be narrower than width of #content - .navigation. You are not validating because you appear to be missing a closing /div tag (or an extra one!). Which may also be why the nav and .narrowcontent float isn't working!!! Try sticking a /div tag either right before div class=navigation OR one right before the closing /body tag. Then revalidate. Your page may look wonky but it may get a green light by the validator. IMO, you should add a comment right before the nav div so it is easier to find.

Get rid of the margin-right on the .narrowcolumn and the sidebar div should slide up next to it.
