How To Change Spacing / Padding Inside Of Sidebox?

[bluelightnin6]

I am using v 1.3.9h and I am installing the blank sidebox addon. I have the box installed and working except I can not figure out how to change the padding that is between the sidebox content (the text I have there) and the top/bottom of the sidebox itself.

My site is http://www.moebow.com and the box I am working with is top left of screen titled "Author Quotes" . As you can see the box is much larger length wise then I need it to be, how do I get rid of that extra top and bottom space?

All other sideboxes are perfect..

Thank you so much..

You might be able to do it by adding this to your stylesheet.css:

#blanksideboxContent {
padding-top: XXpx;
padding-bottom: XXpx;
}

Adjust the XX to taste.

Thanks for replying. I tried your suggestion but it did not change anything.

I fixed it, I had 2 extra <p> codes where I didn't need them in the sidebox template file.

Old thread but may help someone. Thanks Resco. In my case I was just adding a widget and didn't have or use <p></p>. I still had excessive space at top and bottom. Was able to use your css rules and apply them to do the trick. Had to change padding to:

margin-top: -20px;
margin-bottom: -20px;

but your input pointed me in the right direction. Thanks again..........
