element.style mystery css

[wasana]

of course it is another 'looks fine in Firefox but messed up in InternetExploded'.... I know this might be tough to answer without a URL (localhost) but I thought maybe someone has experience with this...

I've got the cross sell mod working but when I inserted

.centerBoxContentsCrossSell {
padding-left: 1em;

it pushed what I think is the contents to the right - pushing into the right column - while the header stayed put.

FIREBUG* tells me that

centerBoxContentsCrossSell centeredContent back style=width: 100%;

and that

element.style {
width:100%;

but it doesn't tell me where this is coming from - it doesn't have a stylesheet.CSS line reference for that 100% -
I've searched almost everyconceivable stylesheet and related php file looking for '100%' - the only thing I can find set like that is mainWrapper.

any ideas?

THANKS

PS: anyone not using FIREBUG should rush out and download it -- incredibly useful in figuring out not only the div/class/css mysteries of the universe - but also to ID what is affecting what you see --- hugely useful.

Is that "style=width: 100%;" an inline style, generated in the php file and not a stylesheet?
The output you show indicates that it is inline.

Glenn is spot on. element.style in Firebug indicates that the style has been applied directly to element as an inline style rather than via a stylesheet.

thanks - that was what i had been thinking - I searched for 100% in the cross-sell related PHP files but that 100"%" is generated...

in xsell_products.php I found the code that generates it

of course I have to share the stupidity award because I edited the file and it didn't change...then I thought "when in doubt edit it out"... when it still didn't change I went looking for the duplicate file.... after about 45 minutes of trial and error it dawned on me that I was editing the original download and not what I had in my custom template... sheesh I know I'm not the first nor the last but dang!

changed 100 to 90 and all is good with the world
THANKS
