Please could someone take a look at the attached files (for the life of me I cannot do it) and if you can imagine the left bar down the left, I want to move it down about 150 pixels to allow for a 780px width flash banner

I dont know what to modify HELLLPPP!!!!

If you post a live URL it would be much more helpful. Nobody can be bothered to put the HTML and CSS together to see what's going on here.

I did have a look at this, although Megan is right: a link is better. Smiling

In #side (line 286 of style.css) could you add:

  position: relative;
  top: 150px;

Does that do what you need? You could position the banner absolutely, or you could forget the code I've given you and put the banner in-between div id="head" and div id="body". This should move all the content below it to be moved down.

Thanks for the link. I just tried on that page, using Firebug, and it moved the sidebar down as requested. Smiling

Yeah thanks everyone, that worked lovley. I appreciate you all taking the time out to look at this - not really sure why Im struggling. I for some reason now though (even though Ive changed the flash animation width) actually get it to occupy the space thats been created?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you changed the width of the Flash movie in the HTML?

Are you still having this problem? I just tried resizing the Flash object manually, using Firebug. It worked fine, although I did notice that not only does the <object> tag need to be changed, but there's also an <embed> tag there too. Both needed to have their width attributes changed.
