Theme development

Has anyone run into a problem with the spreadfirefox or similar theme dropping part of the body of content well below the title?

For example I go to "my account" and the
"History
Member for:
5 weeks 6 days "
section is several several inches below the title.

I am having an issue w/ my breadcrumb because I do not use the standard nav block for my entire site. If the home page can be represented by "/" lets say people arrive at "/section" by a hardcoded link. So if I then go to a page on the "/section" page, say "/section/section2", my breadcrumb only reads Home > Section 2. The "section" link does not get included in the breadcrumb system. I hope this makes sense. Basically my breadcrumb reads:

Home > Section 2 > Section 3 > etc...

and needs to read

Visit a site I am working on:

http://72.9.242.6

Be sure to view it in both firefox and IE.

The primary links work fine in firefox but are doing a "step" pattern in IE.

Here is the code from page.tpl.php

Hi. I have found numerous documents, presentations, and web pages on creating a theme (for phptemplate engine) but have not really found one fully complete and easily understood guide yet.

What is everyone's favorite guide, or what do you all recommend, for a good guide to creating a phptemplate Drupal template?

I want to make a phptemplate version of the Goofy template and then go from there, so my results would go into the Drupal Theme Garden when I am done, for all to use.

Your advice is appreciated in advance!

Thanks,
Alan

Say I have a menu structure like:

• button 1
• button 2
• button 3
• button 4
• button 5

with each button having sub buttons under that. Now lets say I click button 3. Is there a way to make it open at the top, instead of opening under button 2?

• button 3
• sub 1
• sub 2
• sub 3
• button 1
• button 2
• button 4
• button 5

Thanks!

I developed a theme that has the content scrollable in an absolute postioned div. (www.foto-r3.com) Now the problem is that the pager remains invisible until the user arrives at the very end of the list, but he might never get that far to see there are more pages. I would like to avoid that.
