    Default Fixed Center Box Width with Right Column Turned Off

    Hello,

    I have turned off the right column for the main page but would like the centerboxes to have a fixed width (around 3/4 the size of the center and right column together). How can I achieve this? Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    If I understand the question, adjust the width of #mainWrapper in the stylesheet. The center column doesn't use a width statement - it's the mainWrapper width minus the widths of the sidebox columns.

    Doesnt the mainWrapper includes the sidebox columns? Do you mean the centerboxWrapper?
    Anyway, what im trying to achieve is the following.

    Main Wrapper - Fixed Width of 960px
    Left Column - Fixed Width of 160px + 20px right padding

    With the right column turned off, the whole center column is 780px and so does all centerboxes "New Products", "Featured Products" etc.
    I would the centerboxes only to be 600px not the whole center column so that there will be an empty space beside the centerboxes.

    Yes it does. That's why I said that the center column width is the mainWrapper width minus the combined width of the sidebox columns.

    I'm not sure I understand your intent. What are you planning to use the 'empty space' on the right for ?
