Theme development

Forgive the cross-posting. I also put this in the "How do I?" section, as I didn't see the themes forum.

Anyway, I have a problem. I'm using a variant of the "Leaf" theme, and I noticed that the theme is not displaying the author of a story, either on the homepage (which happens to list all the site stories) or on the story page itself. As near as I can tell, forum topic pages also do not list the author (when you're looking at the thread itself).

Hello,

On my drupal site MaplePrimes I am having trouble with the body field in any content posting field.

In IE when you first go to the form the field is the correct width. But once the user starts typing the field gets so wide that it is underneath the right sidebar.

The theme I am using is completely CSS based with no tables. It works fine in Firefox

Has anyone else come across this? Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks,

Greetings,
I tried to put some text in a node in node.tpl.php after the break point (first page text (breakpoint: "some text here") rest of the post) but I don't know how to do it. I tried:

Hi,

I've all but figured out how to do fancy tabs for my primary links except for one thing. I am using 2 tab images, left.gif and right.gif, which combined form the whole tab. This is working ok, but I'm trying to use two different images for the active tab and I've only been able to get the right_on.gif to show and have yet to figure out to get the left_on.gif portion of the tab to show.

Here is the CSS code which works, can anyone give me any idea of what to try to get the left side of my "active" tab to show up along with the right_on.gif portion of the tab?


#top-nav {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif;
}

#top-nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 0 10px 0;
}

#primary {
border-top: solid 1px #999;
border-bottom: solid 1px #999;
padding-bottom: 15px;
vertical-align: top;
text-align: right;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

#primary li {
float: right;
background: transparent url("images/left.gif") no-repeat left top;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 9px;
list-style-type: none;
}

#primary li a {
background: transparent url("images/right.gif") no-repeat right top;
display: block;
padding: 5px 15px 4px 6px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
border: none;
color: #000;
}

#primary a.hover { color: #03f; }

#primary a.active {
