It seems 'div container' is stubborn to alter with css
Hi everyone
First post
Moving from MT for a blog; my sites I would still want to do by hand
Enjoying everything about Textpattern
I’m just beginning to alter the defaults to what I had before in terms of look and feel
I have designed several dozen websites, but the Textpattern ‘container’ division is not doing what my css is asking of it
I have changed the width to 840px (and probably will go wider) but the lovely Web Developer extension at Firefox shows it still as 780px
I can’t see any ‘importants’ or later overrides, so can anyone let me know what is constraining my ability to move this around?
Thanks so much in advance
Stephen

Yes, thanks for the message
Just a few minutes after posting this I of course found the problem
It was the settings for the ‘box model hack’
#container {
\width: 820px;
w\idth: 820px;
}
#sidebar-1, #sidebar-2 {
\width: 150px;
w\idth: 150px;
}
So at least it’s out there
If you wish to alter any of these widths in the main css you’ll need to alter then here too
Thanks again for the response
Take care
Stephen
