Problem with content-position and background-color in a sidebar
In app\views\expenses\new.html.erb, I’ve got (just so I know where the
stuff on the page came from, for now):
<% content_for :sidebar do %>
This is my sidebar stuff from:<br>
new.html.erb<br>
RTS\app\views\expenses
<% end %>
In public\stylesheets\style.css, I’ve got:
div#sidebar {
width: 200px;
margin-left: 480px;
background-color: yellow;
}
Problem: My page displays the sidebar to the right side as I intend,
but:
- It displays the sidebar’s content as intend ... almost: that is, the
text appear centered vertically rather than on top
- It continues to have a lily-white background.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Richard

However, install the Firebug pludin for Firefox and then you can inspect the div and see what it''s style is and where those styles are inherited from.

I do have Firebug installed, but keep it inactive until occasions like this arise. Great idea! Thanks, Colin.

Hey Colin and Michael, Thanks to both of you for your responses.> Assuming you have "<div id="sidebar"><%= yield :sidebar %></div>"somewhere in your view... [Michael] Sidebar is referenced in three file the app (according to my Ruby Search.rb program): app\views\layouts\standard.html.erb: <body id="library"> <div id="container"> <div id="header"> <h1>Receipts Tracking System</h1> <h3>Library powered by Ruby on Rails</h3> </div> <div id="content"> <%= yield -%> </div> <div id="sidebar"></div> [snip] app\views\layouts\expenses.html.erb: <body> <p style="color: green"><%= flash[:notice] %></p> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <%= yield %> </td> <td> <%= yield :sidebar %> </td> [snip] app\views\expenses\new.html.erb (at the bottom): <% content_for :sidebar do %> This is my sidebar stuff from:<br> new.html.erb<br> RTS\app\views\expenses <% end %>> This doesn''t appear to be a rails issue at all [Colin}:I opened Firebug when "New Expenses", the offending page, was being displayed in Firefox. Fiirebug referenced Scaffold.css 3 times. But style.css wsas never mentioned, which is where the following definition is given: div#sidebar { width: 200px; margin-left: 480px; background-color: #00FFFF; } Does that point to an error in my code? Regards, Richard The gory details from Firebug follow: In the left-hand pane: body div (not expanded) link (") table tbody tr td (My page''s left side, not expanded) td (My page''s right side = "sidebar", not expanded) /tr /tbody /table div id = divCleekiAttrib (other stuff) /div /body Except for the last div, that structure matches my expenses,html.erb: <body> <p style="color: green"><%= flash[:notice] %></p> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <%= yield %> </td> <td> <%= yield :sidebar %> </td> </tr> </table> </body> So far, so good.

Then you should see the style from style.css*** You''re onto something! *** In the Firebug pane, with the 2nd td expanded, when I bring the cursor over: body => teal (all except the top couple of debugging output, that are exempt from subsequent mention) <div> => all white <link> => all white <p> => all white <table> => all teal <tbody> => all teal <tr> => all teal <td> left-half => all teal <td> right-half => all teal (text) => all teal That looks to me like the sidebar background-color spec is being subordinated to the main-page spec or ....

If you just view the html in the browser (View, Page Source) for the sidebar what do you see? Is the div id=''sidebar'' there? Post that bit of html.

Re: Problem with content-position and background-color in a sidebar
Thanks Colin for continuing to look at this thing. I posted the only files in my app that have "sidebar" in their content on http://www.pastie.org/874534. Consecutively, they are: app\views\expenses\new.html.erb app\views\layouts\expenses.html.erb app\views\layouts\standard.html.erb public\stylesheets\style.css I''m looking around for some simple html/css code that has a single page split in into main and sidebar. I think I''ve done or saw this a year or two ago.
