Hi Guys,

I'm trying to make a custom Skin for my wiki (MediaWiki software).
Everything is working fine except the alignment of the 'editbox' on
the 'editmodus'.

You can see it right here:
http://en.full-ops.be/index.php?titl...na&action=edit

It appears always beneath the last menubox on the left.

Where the text on the regular page works just fine:
http://en.full-ops.be/Testpagina

What am I doing wrong? The editbox appears normally when using the
standard MediaWiki skin. Tjis is my current CSS-code : http://en.full-ops.be/CurrentCss

Hope to hear from you soon!

textarea (line 189)
{
width: 100%;
}

Width does not include padding or borders, so the width may actually be
something like 101% with those added, causing it to overflow and slide
under the left column. Try changing the width to 98% and see what happens.

Hi Berg,

Thanks for the reply but the width doesn't seem the problem. I've
tried changing it to 90% but it still stays the same.

Might have something to do with the clear: both in the #toolbar rule. As far
as I can see it's working as specified.

Might also be that the clear causes "toolbar" and subsequent material to
be cleared below the floated "Menu".

Wondering why the @#$% 'editbox', 'editmodus' and 'menubox' are used to
describe the problem when they don't even exist in the markup and
stylesheet?

Er, yes. It was assumed that clear: both does that.

No need to even look at the markup or stylesheet at all. Fire up firebug,
inspect the menu and verify (as suspected) that it is floated, look for and
find something that is causing the rest to be "below" the menu, as in
cleared. Elapsed time, less than it took me to type this paragraph, by an
order of magnitude :-)

Then again we are talking about a google groper here.

The "clear: both;" is now removed, but it doens't seem to work for me.
Do you guys see a difference right now?

No, it is not, at least from
http://en.full-ops.be/index.php?titl...na&action=edit

I see it quite clearly in there, in the DOM. Remove clear: both; it and your
page will work. Leave it in there and it won't.

Note, I use firebug to determine this. I do not look at your CSS, that is
your job :-)

BTW you may wish to reconsider that IP address recording paragraph, it has
no meaning at all. An IP address does *not* identify an individual.

You have to remove the right "clear: both". The one of the div with id
"toolbar". Do yourself (and the others here) a favor and use Firebug.
Took me about 15 seconds to figure out which element, which property and
to verify the result if the clear is removed.

Mhh something is definitely wrong here...the "clear: both;" really is
removed...(maybe cache problem?), and I don't record the IP's
(yet) ....do you think you could email me a screenshot of what you
see?

note: I'm leaving for a weekend holiday right now, so I won't be
posting here for a few days, I will be back on Tuesday. Thanks for the
!

I removed the "clear: both" but it doesn't seem to work. Anybody any
idea what the solution could be?

Could you please not quote signatures...

> I removed the "clear: both"

No you didn't. How can I find that out within seconds on *your* page,
and you still haven't figured it out?

Well, here it comes: It's the "clear: both" on line 13 in shared.css. Or
remove the #wpTextbox1 from this very line.

> Anybody any idea what the solution could be?

Get the proper tools. But you've been told that before, and you're
obviously not willing to follow recommendations and advices. And in
anticipation of your next question: The answer is "Firebug".
