hi

I've made a number of index sites before but for some reason Im having tons of trouble

1. Ive managed to knock down my menu to the bottom somehow:
http://www.chocolatesoupcafe.com

ill paste in my css at the bottom

2. I would love to have my menu off the left wall and over the background bit like here:

3. I have tried to install the resize background plugin, followed all the instructions, updated my jguer.js and it doesnt work either.

im running of a custom theme copied from 'sample' called chocosoup

thanks for you help

...you're missing full_background.js and the css from the plugin (#the-background and #wrapper). Read the directions of the plugin from the top.

I'm going cycling - good luck.

ps. you make Chocolate Soup { Our signature drink: melted dark chocolate, espresso, freshly whipped cream topped with a pirouette cookie }
Thumbs up for that! Damn!

vahakn11 / 2009-12-11 19:35:34

You've included the full_background.js but where's the css for #the-background and #wrapper? Really you should take my advice and read the plugin intructions again.

the plugin wasnt working cos i was being thick, so i thought it was buggering my layout, so i pulled out the code, then i installed the plugin, then it diodnt work and i forgot and then i didnt have any chocolate soup.

now we'are rolling./..
