Help with Shopping Cart Sidebox Overflow

Hi,

I just noticed that my shopping cart sidebox, when having an item in it, spreads all the way to the right of the page. How can I adjust the width so there is no overflow - I have already set the widths of the sideboxes in my CSS file, but that didn't do anything.

I'm attaching a screenshot.

Thanks!
Joanne

Anyone?? There has to be someone in this forum who can help me - pleaseeeeeeee

Joanne

Your side boxes are set too narrow. Go to admin and increase the width or open your style sheet and decrease the font size

The screenshot looks like the shopping cart items are set to be much too wide (like the full page width). We really need to see your site live to give the correct answer for styling problems like this.

So how to I make them narrower then? I haven't made any changes to the size before - so should be what the basic program is set to, right?

Here is my stylesheet code.

Posting your stylesheet is the hard way to work. It took a bit of finagling, but I got to your site using info from your background-image paths, and this is what I found:
stylesheet.css (line 195)```
#headerWrapper, #contentMainWrapper, #logoWrapper, #cartBoxListWrapper, #ezPageBoxList, #cartBoxListWrapper ul, #ezPageBoxList ul, #mainWrapper, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage {
background-color: #F8F7FC;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 950px;
}

Thanks so much, I fixed it, and now it's fine :D
