I can't equal out my Left/Right Column margins ???

Hello everyone, it seems a simple thing to do but the margins for the columns that contain the sideboxes on my site are not equal. i cant find the right CSS rule to rectify this. I have tried .leftBoxContainer .rightBoxContainer NavColumnOne NavColumnTwo etc but they dont seem to be controlling the margins that are applied. can someone point me in the right direction please?

thanks

the site is here (adult content)

Ah thank you TMC_Sherpa! You solved the margin problem, only thing is now the sideboxes look funny because the background images are 150px width. i can change that though...

the text area in my advanced search sidebox however, after doing what you said is now as wide as the box making it look odd.... do u know which css rule to use to edit this??

thanks

Re: I can't equal out my Left/Right Column margins ???

okay!!

i removed the 150px width like you said, i did it through admin>layout settings>column width

and then i added the 150px width value to the .leftBoxContainer .rightBoxContainer classes in my stylesheet and Voila!

my boxes are perfect size and all margins are even.

thanks for the help i really appreciate it.

any time. I would grab a copy firefox and download the firebug and web developer plug ins, the inspection feature tells you all kinds of interesting things. It will also let you play with stuff live so you can see what the changes will do without editing the 'real' code
