Hello,

Is there a way to raise the main content blocks up snug to the nav bar?

I’m using JA_Purity_II.

Client requested the left column have color. Found how to do that in the left.php file. But it leaves a gap between top of the left column and the bottom of the main nav bar.

I’ve looked, and tweaked for a couple days on it… Oh, and I’ve learned a ton about this template, fantastic, by the way!! And the tutorial on the T3 Framework on the wiki is great, but doesn’t cover this request.

Ideas?

Thank you!!

Thanks for that. But, I’ve been through a lot of them but am not sure what to look for.

Needed to color the background of the left column, and in doing so have left a white gap between top of left column and the main menu nav bar.

What would I be looking for to bring the left column, or all main content area up snug to the main menu nav bar?

I see a lot of margin, and px dimensions but haven’t found what configures the distance between the main menu nav bar and the left column, or main body.

Thanks for the suggestion… Ideas on what I should look for in the css files?

I’ve looked at template_rtl.css, template.css, split.css, layout.css, mega.css and a variety of php files including default, left, header, head, etc.

Just not sure what to even look for.

Thanks….

J

You try to install and use the firebug of the fire fox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843/, this extension will help you find css of those elements. here is a video guide : http://www.kristarella.com/2009/02/how-to-use-firebug-for-css/

Thanks tienhc, I completely forgot about that addon.

So, you should change .leading in template.css (line 266). Just change padding-top:
.leading {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;

Here you can change the dividing line between elements, too – it’s in border-bottom.
