space between sideboxes disappeared

[jenpen]

I found the CSS to change the colour of the thin strips along the bottom of the sideboxes:
.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
margin: 0em;
border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
border-bottom: 5px solid #5503d1
}

and that worked, but at the same time all the white space between the boxes disappeared so they're on top of each other. I can't find where to fix this. And anyway why would changing the colour of that strip do that?

try adding margin or padding.

example:
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;

Thats just a example just toy with it till you get it how you want it.

The

margin: 0em;

means no space around the boxes. Change it to

margin: 1.5em 0 0 0;

to get 15 pixels space above each sidebox, or

margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;

to get 15 pixels space below each sidebox.

Thanks guys, all fixed. Margin-top and/or margin-bottom did it.
