Sidebox Spacing

[igendreau]

I'm using the Blank Sidebox add-on, and it works fine, I just have a little extra space between the sidebox title and it's content that I can't seem to narrow down.

http://www.wwfdbracelet.com

The sidebox in question is the one on the right titled "$1 Donation". See how the space between title and content is twice as big as the sideboxes on the right? I'm a sidebox newbie and no idea where to track it down. Here is the code for my includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/MY_TEMPLATE/blank_sidebox_defines.php page:

<?php

 */

define('BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX', '$1 Donation');
define('TEXT_BLANK_SIDEBOX', '$1 of every purchase will go to The Tea Party Express and The Tea Party Patriots.

');

?>

[perfect concepts]

In your includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/MY_TEMPLATE/blank_sidebox_defines.php page try changing <P> and </P> tags to <DIV> and </DIV> tags

That's because it is all one. Somehow, you have the whole right column inside #wpposts. You might check the template file for that mod.

Thanks! but i do not know much about this things..

I hope someone there has time to point what to change here.

This is a css file of the mod

#sidebar ul, #sidebar ul ol {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	}

#sidebar ul li {
	list-style-type: none;
	list-style-image: none;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
	}

#sidebar ul p, #sidebar ul select {
	margin: 5px 0 8px;
	}

#sidebar ul ul, #sidebar ul ol {
	margin: 5px 0 0 10px;
	}

#sidebar ul ul ul, #sidebar ul ol {
	margin: 0 0 0 10px;
	}

ol li, #sidebar ul ol li {
	list-style: decimal outside;
	}

#sidebar ul ul li, #sidebar ul ol li {
	margin: 3px 0 0;
	padding: 0;
	}
	
/* for v1.2 */
.leftboxcontent ul li, .rightboxcontent ul li , .singleboxcontent ul li{
  list-style-type: none;
  margin:0px;
  padding-left: 0px;
}

.leftboxcontent ul, .rightboxcontent ul , .singleboxcontent ul{
  margin:0px;
  padding-left:0px;
}

.leftboxcontent ul ul, .rightboxcontent ul ul, .singleboxcontent ul ul{
  list-style-type: square;
  margin:0px;
  padding-left:5px;
}

/* for v1.3 */
.leftBoxContainer ul li, .rightBoxContainer ul li , .singleBoxContainer ul li{
  list-style-type: none;
  margin:0px;
  padding-left: 0px;
}

.leftBoxContainer ul, .rightBoxContainer ul , .singleBoxContainer ul{
  margin:0px;
  padding-left:0px;
}

.leftBoxContainer ul ul, .rightBoxContainer ul ul, .singleBoxContainer ul ul{
  list-style-type: square;
  margin:0px;
  padding-left:5px;
}

Wanna add that if i put it below other sidebox it looks ok... but i want it on top of right sideboxes for it to be easily noticed.

Thanks
