The first problem is that when I installed Videobox the whole page shifted up, not sure how to get it back to where it was and so that it is the same as all the other pages on the website.
The second problem is that the Twitter widget is still bright white when the Videobox is activated!
I’m assuming I need to change some code in the header, if anybody can advise that’d be great.
Hi Chris,
Looking at your site code it looks like the site has been put together
with Dreamweaver rather than Freeway. Having said that I’ve a vested
interest in getting your site working (my wife works for WaterAid) so
here goes;
The body for the video page has been stripped of it’s 8 pixel
margin. Add this into your CSS style block for that page;
body {
margin: 8px; !important;
}
Add the following CSS style to your document head to cause the
Twitter widget to display below the videobox overlay;
.twtr-timeline {
z-index:0 !important;
}
Good luck with the site and hope to some of your Freeway generated
sites here soon.
Regards,
Tim.

Issues like this arise every now and then in web design where something doesn’t work quite as expected. If you can use the Web Inspector tools either Safari or Chrome as either will allow you to look under the hood of the page and can give you insights on why something isn’t working.
I meant to mention that you may want to make sure your pages validate both in HTML and CSS as I saw a couple of missing end braces in the code yesterday. Once the pages validate then the browser isn’t left to second guess what you intended to do.
HTML validation - http://validator.w3.org/
CSS validation - The W3C CSS Validation Service
Lastly (and I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t even mention this) but if you are anywhere near a Mac do try Freeway (see the link in the signature below) for your next web project as it will handle most of this for you allowing you to concentrate on your design as well as getting your message across.
All the best with the film and the site.
Regards,
Tim.

Apologies for posting it on here too, I came across this website when searching for videobox troubleshooting and it looked like a good bet.
Once again thanks a lot, you’ve saved me hours of frustration!
