Nav Block not staying put. Any thoughts?

[jandjsalmon]

Okay so I feel like a bonehead because I've been around LJ too long to still need help with stuff like this - but I'm completely lost so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm crossing my fingers that one of y'all will know what to do

When I tried the CSS on my journal, it looked alright (okay, the nav was center in the sidebar instead of right, but heightwise it was correct). Could you maybe have some other source of CSS interfering with the navheader?

Thank you for your help. It's all fixed. :)

Well, I played around a bit with your code and it should work if you change the following part:

ul.navheader {
margin-top: 250px;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
width: 120px;
}

Just tweak the margin settings to your liking, but that should keep your navheader where it's supposed to stay. :)

I hope I'm not spoiling you with this gif because this is literally my reaction to your help...

Whoa! That is one hell of a strong reaction! :)
Thank goodness, I've already watched this episode numerous times, so you didn't spoil me.

Well, basically I gave your poor navheader links a home by giving them two fixed walls (the top and left side) and telling them exactly how far away from those walls to stay. Now they can settle down on their background picture and stop floating around in space. ;)

I appreciate it. It totally makes sense to do it that way. No idea why I was having such a brain fart. Thanks again.
