# Header positioning

 * Hello! This is probably a bit of a no-brainer problem, but my brain isn’t wanting
   me to figure out a logical solution tonight, for whatever apparent reason.
 * The problem can be seen here: [http://nwimt.com](http://nwimt.com)
    Type the 
   letter “S” in to the search bar (the one above the navigation & header image),
   and when the search results appear, you will notice that all of the page content
   is shifted down, including the header and navigation.
 * I apologize if this is just a simple positioning error that I’ve somehow neglected,
   but any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * Andrew, I have not… it still does the same thing. Wait a couple seconds for the
   results to generate (it is a LIVE search bar), and you’ll see what I mean.

 * I should have been more clear… type “s” in to the search bar, _do not hit the
   enter key_! The search results will display as a drop-down beneath the search
   bar, thus pushing everything else out of alignment.

 * I see.
 * The problem lies with gold_cart.css line 129.
 * You ought to be using `position: absolute`, rather than `position: relative;`.
   
   Then you need to add `top: 40px` or-so depending on how low you want that result
   box.
