  is there a way to keep the search box from moving down relative to the website title (when users increase the size of the text on their computer).

  I would think that something could be added to the #searchform input. I would guess it has something to do with absolute position?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, I’ve increased and decreased the zoom in my browser when looking at your site, and cannot reproduce this behavior except when I have my browser set to only zoom the text. That is not something we can compensate for with CSS, and looking at your site zoomed in with my browser set to only zoom text, it causes all sorts of things to go awry, not just the site title and search box.

  We have no control over how people set up and use their browsers, but I would hope that people would not use this option.

  okay, that makes sense. On a related note, is there a way to set image place holders, so that when the page loads, a blank space appears where the images are loading? In this way, the text doesn’t move all around. I realize this is minor, but I am real big on details, LOL.

  Hi there, I can’t think of a way to make that happen. About the only thing I can think of doing would be to add an image to the image div as a background (probably blank) that would show up if the actual image has not yet loaded. The only problem is, an image added via a background declaration will not hold the space open, so it would not really do what you are wanting. The space would still be collapsed until the image information loaded (size, etc.).

  no problem… it doesn’t hurt to ask. 99 percent of the time you are able to make things happen, it’s only the 1 percent of the time I ask for something that isn’t possible, that you can’t deliver–like when I ask you how to make a round square :)

  I can make rounds square and squares round. THAT I have the power to do.

  That’s rad! Go figure (pun intended)… I never thought I would be engaging in CSS humor. I have learned a lot from you. The 100 dollars I spent on the premium plan is soooooo worth the money.Thanks.
