I'm using the 247 portal template and I want to switch the search and top menu positions. When I move the top menu to position user 3 it only display part of the menu. Its like the menu starts off the page. How can I fix this?

You should get the Firefox "Web Developer Extension" for your browser. Then, once installed, click "Outline" -> "Outline Tables". This should give you some insite as to what it wrong. I can see that you are running your site locally using JSAS, so I can not look at it and tell you. Good Luck! When you find the answer, please post is back here for future users.

Total Guess here so don't shoot me if it's wrong :)

I'm guessing that in your template_css.css you have this:

Code:
#search {
  float            : left;
  margin-top       : 5px;
  border           : 1px solid #cccccc;
  padding          : 0px;
  width�           : 123px !important;
  width            : 125px;
  height           : 16px !important;
  height           : 16px;
  overflow         : hidden;
}


AND that you have the menu published in the search div (look for

That got me closer, it looks like the top menu has some extra length to it that prevents newsletter from aligning to the left. Any ideas how to fix this?

Here is a pic of what it looks like now.

Hey Matt,

It would be easier if you posted a link to your site, or at the very least the offending CSS and HTML code (saves me from having to guess :) )

Cheers,
