Left column expands too far to the right

Hi,

I'm using the GW_Business1 theme. For some reason, the left column expands/stretches too far to the right on some of the module index pages. When this happens, the module's index page looks abnormally narrow. I'm not sure if the module index page is not expanding to the correct width (and the left column is filling in the extra space), or the left column is squeezing it because it is becoming too wide. Everything is the proper width on the home page.

I'm primarily noticing this problem when I go to the News 1.51 or AMS index pages. Other modules, such as Article 0.95, Wiwimod, and Liaise work fine.

Does anyone know what can be adjusted to prevent this?

Yeah, open up the style.css nav down to the .leftcolumn entry.

Most likely it is set to a % based width.

Try a fixed width column instead.

td#leftcolumn {
width: 180px;
}

Hi Biteronboard,

The leftcolumn entry is already set to a fixed width. I tried putting a fixed value into the center column which had no width value at all, and this fixed the left column and center column problem. However, the right column keeps shrinking and expanding depending on the width of the browser screen, even though the right column is set to a fixed width too. Something else is going on, which I haven't figured out yet.

If it only happens in some modules, perhaps some of the modules have their own css file that they include, after the normal ones, which are overriding some of your settings.

I don't know if there is a convention for where a module would store such a css file though.

That is in fact what may have happened. I noticed a width value missing in the center column, and thus, the module width may have defaulted to another value established elsewhere.
