Header widget position different in Chrome vs Firefox
 
Hi folks,

I'm having a bit of trouble adding a widget to my header area. I want the widget to be to the right of my logo area. The only way I could achieve this was to use absolute positioning, but I'm having a problem getting the position of the widget to not shift between browsers. Any suggestions? Or is there a different way I can get the widget to flow correctly in my layout without using absolute positioning?

What version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the url?
What version of each browser?

The way I would do what you want is to create a two celled widget area and put my logo image in one and use the other cell for the info you want next to it. For this situation you don't use %logo.

Another perhaps is to wrap %logo in a div and use float to position.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the quick responses.

It looks like I got it to work after all. I used relative positioning instead of absolute. The new widget is above all the rest of my header content in the HTML, and for some reason, although everything was lining up correctly, I was getting me a huge space above all the content. I put styled the widget with a negative top margin to correct that. There is likely a better fix, but this seems to be working now. I have tested it across browsers using adobe browser lab. The only problem is in IE6, but I'm not going to worry about that.

I'm pretty much a beginner at this programing stuff, so if you guys have another, more appropriate suggestion I'd be glad hear it.

I'm using Atahualpa 3.5.3. My URL is www.somethingcreativeeveryday.com

Thanks!
