Title: Div problem with #menu Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Div problem with #menu * Anonymous * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/) * Hi, I know that you are all going to burn me with “your code isn’t right,” but please, ignore this as I’m deployed to Iraq and proud enough to have just gotten a wordpress blog up and running while in the middle of the desert. I’m running Vesuvius as a layout at [http://www.joshuaherman.com](http://joshuaherman.com). 1)The issue is that there must be something wrong with my wp-layout.css, specifically with the #menu div as there is a gap in my first posting and its comments, which ends at the same point the #menu object does. This hasn’t been a problem since implementing Vesuvius, but it just started tonight for the first time in three months. 2) The menu on the right doesn’t display correctly in IE. Does anyone know a work around to get this problem fixed up? Finally – thank you to any who care to respond. Moreover, please ignore any and all coding errors (unless, of course, they pertain to this issue), it’s hard enough to even get online, let alone code properly when you also have to carry an M16…thanks.

I didn’t have time to go through and comment each div to make sure they matched up, so I “guessed and checked” by removing the one, which made the display render incorrecly in not only IE, but also firefox and netscape. boo. Heheh. I see what you mean regarding the two id’s of “side1” and will fix that soon enough. Are you saying that it’s my inproperly nested lists that are causing the “gap” b/n the post content and comment object on the first post of each page? * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-109822) * No – I doubt that is the reason. It looked like you were closing out the content div before the comments were displayed. I’ll have to take another peak. * [joshdherman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshdherman/) * (@joshdherman) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-109825) * Beel – you’re my hero – thanks 🙂 I removed the css of clear:both from the feedback div and all is well with Issue #1 🙂 Kafkaesqui – I saw that post before and tried to resolve it using the recommendations given fourth there (including checking me “li” tags), but that didn’t do the trick. I’m glad that you two were so willing to help AND get issue number one fixed, in less than two hours, from across a sea and a warzone! Now…any suggestions on issue 2? I went through and commented what I think each of the div’s close Beel – thought that may just visually help me, but I might have messed up. To display properly I need all those /div’s there. It doesn’t seem right that the outer_rap should be closed, but w/o that or others in place, all browsers seem to render the nav bar below the content instead of to the right! * [joshdherman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshdherman/) * (@joshdherman) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-109826) * alright guys, I have to get to bed – early day tomorrow. If you get a chance to peruse, I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while (why the right nav bar just won’t render properly in IE). Anything you can figure out would be a blessing and help. I have those things there for my family to easily navigate the site – which I use to communicate with them. I’m sure that they too would appreciate your thoughts. Have a good day everybody. * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-109828) * I have never been able to get a menu floated right to behave as I wanted. Hopefully someone else has and will post. I can get the menu up and to the right if I float the content to the right but if the browser window is too small, it drops again. Sorry. * [joshdherman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshdherman/) * (@joshdherman) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-110011) * I’ve gone through index.php and commented all of the /div’s and what exactly they were closing. Everything seems to be right there. I went through the original index provided with Vesuvius and cross-checked it with my own to see if I might have inadvertantly messed something up. From what I can tell, there’s no mess up. There is a tag in the index id=”rnav”, but there’s no rules in the css for it, but other than that, I’m not sure what’s going on. Anyone feel like pointing Root here? 🙂 If anyone can take a look and help me out, I’d really appreciate it. * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-110017) * Add this ` #rmenu input#address { width: 90%; /* specify width 90% or less*/} * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/div-problem-with-menu/#post-110021) * When there’s a case where a box (in this case, right menu) is sliding down it’s usually the box occupies more space then what is available. On your original index.php, I noticed that the “subscribe” box is larger than the rest of the boxes (“last 5 post”, etc) ; thus, enlarge the intended size of the size of right menu. And then I noticed that it’s caused by the “your email” input field. So, I resized the “your email” input field.
