January 31st 2006 at 6:01 pm in General I just made a slight modification to the theme that this site uses.
I hated the way the sidebar’s position was controlled by CSS and re-coded the content and sidebar into a two-column table.
It took a while to find why the page’s width was waaaay bigger than client window width, to be lead to think that it was caused by a long word, containing no spaces.
So I added the ‘overflow: auto‘ CSS option for those HTML elements, but this only had a slight effect. The site still looked b0rked…
I finally found out padding was to blame and I had to modify some other CSS declarations.
Now it’s looking OK again.
