hello,
I am using php-nuke and I try to place a block (with html/javascript content) on the left side of the site, under the main menu. I tryed to use conditionall blocks but it wont work (I don't know why)......

Code:

Here si what I use:
#container{
width: 160px;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 300px;
background: #f8f8f8;
}

The thing is that I want to use a negative value for padding-left to fit my design and it don't works. Also, I want the block to "float" over a picture.

The thing is that I want to place teh code to call this style in a center block so that it will appear only in first page. That is the reason I need left-align to be negative.

Can you please give me an advice?

P.S. Or, if you know another way to place a block ony in one module..... (it not has to be an automated way... like the conditional blocks module... I cand do the codding part if you give me an advice).
