CSS and PHP Question

Question Posted Tuesday March 30 2010, 1:00 am

First of all, here is the header code I'm working with:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> 

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
</style>

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-includes/js/transmenu/transmenu.cs…
<script language="javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-includes/js/transmenu/transmenu.js…

<script language="javascript">
function init() {
//=================================…
// if supported, initialize TransMenus
//=================================…
// Check isSupported() so that menus aren't accidentally sent to non-supporting browsers.
// This is better than server-side checking because it will also catch browsers which would
// normally support the menus but have javascript disabled.
//
// If supported, call initialize() and then hook whatever image rollover code you need to do
// to the .onactivate and .ondeactivate events for each menu.
//=================================…
if (TransMenu.isSupported())
{
TransMenu.initialize();
}
}
</script>

<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=lin… ?> <?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body onload="init()" >

<div id="container">

<div id="header">
</div>

<ul>
<?php if (function_exists('pixopoint_menu')) {pixopoint_menu();} ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<script language="javascript">
// set up drop downs anywhere in the body of the page. I think the bottom of the page is better..
// but you can experiment with effect on loadtime.
if (TransMenu.isSupported()) {

//===================================…
// create a set of dropdowns
//===================================…
// the first param should always be down, as it is here
//
// The second and third param are the top and left offset positions of the menus from their actuators
// respectively. To make a menu appear a little to the left and bottom of an actuator, you could use
// something like -5, 5
//
// The last parameter can be .topLeft, .bottomLeft, .topRight, or .bottomRight to inidicate the corner
// of the actuator from which to measure the offset positions above. Here we are saying we want the
// menu to appear directly below the bottom left corner of the actuator
//===================================…
var ms = new TransMenuSet(TransMenu.direction.down, 1, 0, TransMenu.reference.bottomLeft);

//===================================…
// create a dropdown menu
//===================================…
// the first parameter should be the HTML element which will act actuator for the menu
//===================================…

<?php

$Pgs = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status='publish' AND post_parent = 0 AND post_type = 'page'");

foreach($Pgs AS $Pg)
{
$ItemsCounter = 0;
?>

}

/*

print_r($SubPgs);
print("</PRE>");
*/

?>

//===================================…
// write drop downs into page
//===================================…
// this method writes all the HTML for the menus into the page with document.write(). It must be
// called within the body of the HTML page.

}

Here is my website: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

The problem: I need to figure out how to effectively integrate that live chat button into my template and I need to move my content up higher towards the navigation bar so there is only a few pixels worth of problem; have been trying to solve this problem for the past few hours and I can't come up with any solutions.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You omitted vital parts of the chat code, so I can't tell what the button is supposed to look like. However, it would probably work to put it in the sidebar:

<div id="sidebar">
<div class="sidebar"><form role="search" method="get" id="searchform"
action="[Link](Mouse over link to see full location);
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input name="s" id="s" type="text">
<input id="searchsubmit" value="Search" type="submit">
</div>
</form>



</div>

</div>
<div id="content">

You'll need to figure out how to modify the sidebar in WordPress. The code you pasted is getting it from somewhere else with get_sidebar().
