And LeftSideBar/RightSideBar HTML? The same as my samples?
Thank you for prompt Reply
Yes they are are
Ah I see, this is actually isn't an SS problem, it's a CSS problem, and you have deviated from my examples slightly, so I can't see what you've done easily.
The easiest thing to do when doing a layout is to code it in strait HTML (no silverstripe), get it displaying correctly, then break it put it into a SS template, and break it up into reusable includes.
If I get a few moments, I will look through your CSS. But you would have had this problem not matter what CMS you were using.

I have just started using SilverStripe and am currently trying to work out to to add a sidebar with three editable sections to a website homepage. I have followed the steps above and now have a static sidebar in place. How do I make the sidebar and its sections editable? In addition, how do I then access the sidebar and/or make it accessible for editing from the admin area?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Depending on how you want the content to be edited you may want to look at an alternate option suggested in the comments of this page: http://www.ssbits.com/create-a-static-sidebar
1. Create a page (whatever type you want) named SidebarPage.
2. In the Behavior tab, uncheck the "Show in menus?" check.
3. In your template, put <div id="Sidebar" class="typography">$Page(SidebarPage).Content</div>
4. Edit SidebarPage as desired.I now have 2 sidebar blocks working in this manner. The only thing I can add to this is not to try to reference them as "$Page(SidebarPage1).Content" for example (I wanted to have them numbered 1 and 2) as the CMS stripped the number from the URL and the param after $Page must match the URL of the page created.
