all righty, so here is my (unfinished) site:

http://www.heidenautires.com/

when you resize the page, the right content div mushes into the left nav menu. i really need it to not do that.

i'm working from a zen sub-theme in drupal, hence all the extra bits and classes and ids and whatnot.

i am sure it's something really stupid and i'm just too close to the situation to see what's going, but i've mucked with my wrappers and my content and menu divs and i am two seconds from putting a bullet through my laptop and taking up ceramics again.

i am working in chrome 20, on windows 7, just to cover all that stuff.

thank you all/any in advance.

At first i don't know why you use so many div's of course its your own choice. the problem comes here at [pages.css:176]

.region-sidebar-first {
width: 185px;
margin-left: 150px;
margin-right: 100px;
display: block;
}

the problem is #content is fixed with width in percentage and your sidebar with width in pixels. change the css of that class to

.region-sidebar-first {
width: 20%;
margin-left: 5%;
margin-right: 5%;
display: block;
}

Should be working, by now

it's not really my choice as much as, that's what zen gave me, and i'm not entirely comfortable going into the template file and commenting out/deleting pieces all willy-nilly. and i originally had .region-sidebar-first at 20%, and the two divs still mashed up, and are continuing to do so. i've tried display:block on both the menu and the content, just for kicks... no dice.

It's probably the fixed pixel margins you have in..

.region-sidebar-first {
width: 20%;
margin-left: 150px;
margin-right: 100px;
display: block;

Try changing them to percentages.

.region-sidebar-first {
width: 20%;
margin-left: 5%;
margin-right: 5%;
display: block;

That should work. You can always add a min-width in pixels to your sidebar if you want to maintain a minimum.

@memunawar Did you edit your post? I don't recall seeing that solution when I came up with mine.
