Forum:Raising the sidebar

RESOLVED

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to lower the sidebar which will return the sidebar setup to normal, after I deleted the banner on http://dead-rising.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco.css

Currently our logo is now covered up by the toolbar!

What controls the height of the toolbar? Thank you!

It has something to do with

border: 0; height: 0px; }
 * 1) background_strip {

If I remove background_strip then a large strip appears, which I dont want. If I keep it in the coding, then the sidebar is all the way at the top. sigh, any suggestions? Anno1404 06:03, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I figured it out. I replaced the background strip with a color, removing border and height. Anno1404 06:29, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The position of the sidebar it controlled by the heigth of the background strip. If you set height:0px for the background strip then you are basically telling the layout to have 0 distance between the top of the page and the top of the sidebar.
 * This is the default height of the background-strip behind the logo:

height:155px; }
 * 1) background_strip {


 * If you want to change the height of the background strip (without giving it a color) just change the value for the height.
 * Also, be very careful not to leave parenthesis unclosed. Your 06:48, 2010 September 4 (UTC) revision left unclosed parenthesis that could cause problems with the rest of the script.


 * By the way, if you are testing a layout for your wiki, here are some tips:
 * You can privately test any changes (without affecting the appearance of the wiki) by putting them in your personal css. This will show the changes only to you so that you can debug them beforehand.
 * If you use the FireFox browser, the Firebug extension is very useful for testing CSS changes without having to edit pages multiple times in the process. You can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843/
