Right nav box width change

  • I am trying to change the width of my right nav box to 250 from 160. I can make this change in the css file but when I do the center column doesn’t get bumped over it just stays where it is and the right nav bar info goes right over it. What am I missing, what do I need to change to have the auto resizing center column recognize the new width and move over acordingly?
    Thanks

    I have it set at 160px right now but if you want to see it changed to 250 so that you can see what it is doing I can do that also.

    Your instinct was correct. You also need to amend the centre column. Since you’re adding 90px onto the right sidebar, you then need to subtract 90px from the right margin of the centre column. Edit style.css and change:

    div.main {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:0 solid #CCCCCC;
color:#000000;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:15px;
margin:5px 179px 10px 187px;
padding:5px;
}

    to

    div.main {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:0 solid #CCCCCC;
color:#000000;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:15px;
margin:5px 269px 10px 187px;
padding:5px;
}

    That did it thanks; I am amazed that you just knew that like that. I assumed that since the center frame was much larger than 179px that that bit of code wasn’t referring to what I needed. I see now that is the the margin from the outside of the page and my 250px sidenav bar fits within the 269. Thanks much for your help!

    I am amazed that you just knew that like that.

    10 years of playing with CSS helps. Plus Firefox with the Firebug add-on. ??

    I am to lazy to install firefox. Everyone keeps telling me to. I guess I should. Thanks again.
