sidebar still on left side.

4pbears · August 27th, 2012, 11:27 AM

i am doing the exercises in this book and i am stuck on page 82. the problem is in the #sidebar instructions; i can't seem to get the sidebar to be positioned on the right side of the page. i have the settings set exactly like they are on the page. any help would be appreciated.

Hi Dave,

Can you post the code for the Master Page as well as for the CSS file? It's a bit hard to say what's wrong otherwise.... ;-)|

Cheers,

Like Dave describes, my sidebar is on the left side of the page. Can get it to the right side but it's below the main content.

From page 79, i typed the following code into "Default.aspx":

Code:

...
        <strong>reviews and concert pictures</strong> to be found here.
        </p>
      </div>
      <div id="Sidebar">Sidebar Goes Here</div>
      <div id="Footer">Footer Goes here</div>
...

From page 82 I typed the following code into "Styles.css":

Code:

...
#MainContent {
  width: 644px;
  float: left;
}

#Sidebar {
  background-color: #808080;
  width: 180px;
  float: left;
}
#Footer {
  background-color: #C0C0C0;
  width: 844px;
  clear: both;
}

And, yes I did notice it says "left" in the property value, as does my book. I tried putting in "right" and it did move it to the right but under the main content, not at the top like the picture in the book.

I did not change the master page file "Frontend.master". It's full contents are:

Code:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Frontend.master.cs" Inherits="NewFolder1_Frontend" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
        
        </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for any help!

I found in "Default.aspx" I had entered:

Code:

<div id="Maincontent">

When I should have entered:

Code:

<div id="MainContent">

Thanks!
