nav column left & right

hey there,

i have the following

#navColumnOneWrapper {
margin-left: 1.5em;
margin-right: 1.5em;
text-align:center;
width:200px;
background-color:#000000;
border: 5px solid #000000;
}

everything works except the width:200px;

can anyone please help with this?

Thanks

Column width normally set via
admin/layout settings/column width - left or
column width - right

thanks i got that.

but for some reason the background colour doesnt fill in the entire set width of the admin setting?

any thoughts?

does the seperation of the navcolumns effect this?

as such?

#navColumnOneWrapper {
margin-left: 1.5em;
margin-right: 1.5em;
text-align:center;
background-color:#000000;
border: 5px solid #000000;
}
#mainWrapper {
margin: auto;
}
#navColumnTwoWrapper {
margin-left: 1.5em;
margin-right: 1.5em;
text-align:center;
background-color:#000000;
border: 5px solid #000000;
}

i ask because changing the widths in the admin section doesnt work

i have reset the stylesheet and now the admin width works but the background colour of the stylesheet does not fill in the entire new width setting.

Any ideas?

We could figure it out pretty quickly with a link, but if your site is on a test server we can't see, we just have to guess. And my guess is that you've got the background color inside something which also needs the width set to 200px. Search the stylesheet for "width:" and make sure you know what each of them is doing.

Do you use Firefox as your development browser? With some of those great developer's tools added in to it? If so, Aardvark can tell you which element the background color is really in.

ok got it

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
background-color: transparent;
}

change that colour to fill it all
