There has to be, then, a fundamental difference in the markup you have in one of your original files Vs that of a BP file it’s a matter of spotting it?
I can see immediately that there is a div mismatch with a stray closing div, you perhaps have closed wrapper before sidebar or something along those lines. In fact your sidebar is simply in the wrong position altogether it should live within #ftstemplate and it’s outside, so you just need to check over your markup a little more carefully.
Thanks for the speedy response hnla…i’ll check it out again later tonight.
