Hi
I am designing a site for a friend at http://www.jakeauerbachfilms.com
He would like me to put the search box in the top right hand corner, in line with the top nave. I have looked with firebug and the main nav goes right across the whole of the screen. Please could someone tell me if I can do this, and if so, in simple terms how.
Thanks you very much.

Hi

Is this what you want?

If so you need to make some adjustments in your file templates/ja_t3_blank/css/template.css. Add this code to the bottom of the file…..


.wrap {background: none;
}
#ja-search {bottom: 100px; < play with this number to get how you want-100 is just an idea
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}

Hope that helps!

Thanks, I had already put the code in the article, but I need to add a new user position name to my php file, and I cannot locate the file where all the user positions are defined?

Maybe I am not understanding properly or maybe I’m just being dumb (lack of knowledge only thanks).

Did you follow this?

<blockquote>To insert a module inside an article, use the {loadposition xx} command, as follows:

• Create a module and set its position to any value that doesn’t conflict with an existing template position. You can type in the position value instead of selecting it from the drop-down list. For example, use the position myposition.
• Assign the module to the Menu Items that contain the articles that you want the module to show in. You can also just assign the module to all Menu Items.
• Edit the articles where you want this module to appear and insert the text {loadposition myposition} in the article at the place where you want the module.

Note that this only works when the Content – Load Module plugin is enabled. If this plugin is disabled, the text {loadposition myposition} shows unchanged in the article.</blockquote>

Then you don’t need to use any php (it is not a physical position you are building) and you can add positions (although you don’t I think need to) in the xml file. (yourtemplate/templateDetails.xml)

Hopefully Sarah that will help you. I hope!! :-[

No, it is silly me…. I am dyslexic, and had not noted that I could just type in the new position name!

I have just run the site http://jakeauerbachfilms W3 validator and it has come up with some error messages, all relating to the module I have added to the main body. I do not know what to do about this, as the errors have been generated automatically
Here are the errors.
Please can someone advise. Here are the errors.
