how to separate header 1 and 2 ads

[ketanco]

I would like to separate the google ad and banner ad at header 1 and 2. how can i do that?
i tried putting them in div and padding or margin but it did not work

Can you please post a link so we can see the problem.

^ Please post a link as Lynne asked. On a side note though, some forum designs meaning... if you have to 728x90 banners and you want one on the left, and one on the right w/ a little spacing between them without realizing that their forum is a fixed width at 980px - this won't ever happen! So make sure that you're either using a fluid style or that your set site width is large enough to actually hold both ads if you have them side-by-side.

980px-728px=252px minus any padding or margin settings to play with.

^ Very rough example but you should get the idea, if simply stacking ads top to bottom it shouldn't matter unless you just don't take it into consideration.

ok sure,
my site is

constructforum.com

look at the very top at home page

the google ad in header 1, and my own banner ad in header 2 are touching each other. how can i separate?

also i want to bring them a little down if possible they are touching to top of screen , which i dont want....

thanks a lot

Add this to your additional.css:

#ad_global_header1 {
   margin-right: 5px;
}

Of course, you can set the margin as you like.

to get a top margin, just add to what Cellarius wrote:

#ad_global_header1 {
   margin-right: 5px;
   margin-top: 10px;
}
#ad_global_header2 {
   margin-top: 10px;
}

Of course, change those margins to whatever you want.

Ah. I missed the part about the top margin...

A simple way to separate them is just too add a couple   between them.
