Sidebar problem
I am trying to fix a number of issues with the Drupal 5 version of the My Drupal Impact theme (ver 1.4). As far as I can tell, I only have one issue. That issue has been listed in the theme's "Issues" for 33 weeks with no reply so I figured I'd hit the community and see if we can cobble a fix for my problem and also so it can be posted under issues for all those experiencing this who have gone unanswered...
If you pull up my site http://www.tapbjj.com in IE7(functions correctly in FF and Opera), you will notice that when you move the mouse over a navigation link everything looks fine; however, when you move it up above the first link slightly and into the sidebar h1 area (i.e over the word "Navigation") it causes a apx 30 px area of the navigational links immediately below the header to be 'obscured' (for lack of a better word).
I have tried cobbling the code in various ways in regards to the sidebar but with no success. The code I 'suspect' is part of the problem is as follows:
/*** Sidebars ***/
#leftside,#rightside {
margin:0;
padding:0 10px 10px;
width:165px;
}
#leftside {
float:left;
margin-right:10px;
}
#rightside {
float:right;
margin-left:10px;
}
#leftside h1,#rightside h1 {
color:#505050;
font-size:1.6em;
font-weight:bold;
letter-spacing:-1px;
margin:0 0 3px;
}
#leftside h2,#rightside h2 {
font-size:1.1em;
margin:0 0 20px;
}
#leftside p,#rightside p {
font-size:0.9em;
line-height:1.4em;
margin:0 0 16px 10px;
}Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)

I wanted to add that the 'obscuring' effect also occurs when accessing admin functions via the nav menu.
When you expand the administer nav link within the right sidebar, mousing over any sub menu item that has it's own submenu (i.e administer>content management or administer>site building) causes the links below it to become obscured by the same (apx) 30 px 'block of nothing'. Nav links that have no submenus of their own such as administer>help do not cause this effect.

OK, I have cobbled 'somewhat' of a fix.
On line 290 of style.css remove the following code
background: white url(img/gradient.gif) top left repeat-x;and the strange 'obscuring' of navigational links will stop occuring.
The problem is after you remove that, the sidebar menus are pretty plain, displaying only the background of the rest of the page...
I'll keep playing
