    Default Content in "Blank sidebox" not lining up

    The site is http://www.actionforms.ca/officesupplies/

    I used the Blank sidebox download and called it button_sidebox. I have added the necessary buttons to the box, turned off the header and border (I am trying to mesh it with my current site). The problem is that the buttons aren't lining up with the category box below, or the logo above. I am toyed with my CSS and now I am at a loss. It think if I could just get them left aligned it would work, but I can't get them to move at all.

    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Colleen

    The Blank Sidebox contribution is probably a little out of date. Newer ZC versions steer away from using tables and instead use CSS for style and positioning.

    Try comparing your code in the tpl_blank_sidebox.php to another (simple) core sidebox template. By removing the table codes your content should start to fall into place. A handy tool for design experimentation is Mozilla Firefox browser add-on Firebug.

    You were totally right. I didn't even think of that!! I am struggling with formatting entire pages with CSS, still stuck in the old days. What I actually did was remove the tables just a vspace to the images. Worked like a charm!
