function my_div()
{
echo '<div>Some new DIV between the header and content</div>';
}

add_action('thesis_hook_after_header', 'my_div');


but how do i style that bad boy in css?

lool. add an id to it and style it like any other div.

check out nettuts if you suck at css.

it's in thesis though so i have to use the hooks

are you familiar with thesis at all?

it should look some like this

.custom #my_div{

but i don't know if my_div is the proper selector

 

[kaos092]

figured it out

function my_div() {
?>
<div id="left" style="left: 327px; top: 9px; width: 323px; height: 138px">
</div>
<?php
}
add_action('thesis_hook_after_header' , 'my_div');

does anybody know why it keeps my nav menu after the header using the same hook "thesis_hook_after_header"?

it's doing what i want it to but it would help me out in the future if i knew why

Thesis has not only it's own forums + tutorials, documentations, how to guides, etc.. available for free.... but really.. use good first.

You're either editing the wrong file, have it in the wrong order, or functions.php is calling it up before your tags
