Themes

The default method of laying out Tikiwiki's pages is a little complex and involves floating the columns into place. Simply specifying a page width for the body, etc. generally doesn't work, especially in IE browsers.

One method you could try is to add this to your theme's stylesheet, or to make a new CSS file named "custom.css" and put it in the styles/coelesce/ directory:

#main {
	display: table; 
	margin: auto; 
	margin-top: 16px; 
	margin-bottom: 3px; 
	width: 1024px} 

*:first-child+html #c1c2 {
	margin-left: 0;
	padding-left: 0}

The width can be whatever you want; the top and bottom margin figures also you can change as you please.

I don't know if this will help with the menu dropdown problem or not, but it is a way to specify a width for the content that seems to work in all browsers. (Actually the testing of this is a little limited, so if it doesn't work, let us know.)
