This is what my page looks like:

What did I do wrong?

What do you find wrong with it John?

It looks fine in IE 6/7, FF 2/3 and Safari 3.1 (yes, all 5 of them)

The only thing I see that could be fixed is a little overlapping being seen in IE7 around the comment form stuff.

Rick,

Many thanks for the info and code! I was looking for such a solution to implement on my site. Cool!!

When I included the full width page template in 1.0.2, I did it primarily to pacify users who had requested it. In hindsight, I should have gone ahead and made the thing span the entire width of the layout, but I chose not to do this because the line-heights would have been way too small for easy reading. *No* line of text should span that much width unless the font (and the resulting line-height) is big enough to justify it.

This is probably one of those cases where I'm too much of a perfectionist for my own good. In spite of this, Thesis 1.1 will usher in a new era where I should be able to control font sizes and line heights in more dynamic environments.

Rick,

Worked like a charm.

Just wanted to chime in with the all the other "thanks".

Quite welcome, to you & everyone else.

Sometimes there is a need for something to span the full width of the layout.

Here is an example.

It's a framed real estate search. It looks AWFUL if it's restricted to the main column (of any template).

I tired to minimize the text, but there were a couple of lines that needed to be there.

I had to doink (that's the technical term) with the CSS and page template, but managed to get it to span across the full width.

I don't know how I missed this before when searching but this is without a doubt just awesome. I have been screwing around trying to get this done for weeks!

Thank you so much.

I'm having a bit of a conundrum with this. I, like phoenixrealestateguy, have a real estate search I have to insert in the page via iframe. The difference is that my iframed search doesn't need to take up the full page but does require 80% of the page's width.

How would I add a single sidebar to sit directly on the right of the iframed page?

I already have the sidebar set up to appear on the page but I don't know how to make it appear directly to the right of the search as opposed to its current location on the bottom of the page.

I read through the entire thread and couldn't find a solution to my problem. I'm editing only the single.php. I borrowed the if statement from the rest of the file. I'm trying to use a php if statement to display the sidebars if the post is not a "Comic". Here's the code I tried to butcher together:

<?php if(function_exists('mycomic_navigator') && $comic=mycomic_is_comic($id)) ?> { }
else {
<?php thesis_get_sidebars(); ?>
}
?>
	</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
