I've set up a simple sidebar on an otherwise fairly default wiki. The sidebar uses css float:right and sits above most pages quite nicely.

For example, my wiki's front and news pages show the sidebar nicely floating on top of the background. (As a side note, I had to add:

#sidebar {
	border: 1px solid;
	background: white;
}	

to local.css to get the border and make sure that the RSS feed's grey title didn't show through on the news page.)

Hmm the background color setting seems like a change it makes sense to make to style.css .. done. --[[Joey]]

Unfortunately, the recentchanges page doesn't look so nice - the sidebar appears below the recentchanges list.

I don't understand why the sidebar is appearing below the recentchanges inline, but above the news inline.

I don't see the problem here in firefox 3. The sidebar is at the top of both pages. However, it might have to do with the recentchanges page itself using floating elements to build up the table-like display. --[[Joey]]
